The conjugate base of an acid is the species that results when the acid donates H+. The conjugate acid of a base is the species that results when the base accepts H+. The acid and its conjugate base, and the base...
The comparison between experimental and estimated results showed that a suitable complexation model can be used with a fairly good accuracy in predicting acid–base properties of polyphosphates in seawater. The single salt approximation for the inorganic major components of seawater, which is a good ...
with Zn2+ for the following considerations [11], [12], [13]: (i) H2btca can be partially or completely deprotonated to produce Hbtca− and btca2− anions at different pH values, which could form various acid-base-dependent coordination modes and consequently result in abundant structures...
While water molecules stabilize zinc phosphate frameworks through solvating a cation or forming extra hydrogen bonds, the partial substitution of water for sodium oxide to form NaH(ZnPO ) represents the formation of an acidic compound with weaker acid-base interactions and less exothermic enthalpy of...
