Fluorescence of KCl Aqueous Solution: A Possible Spectroscopic Signature of Nucleation.

ABSTRACT: Ion pairing in water solutions alters both the water hydrogen-bond network and ion solvation, modifying the dynamics and properties of electrolyte water solutions. Here, we report an anomalous intrinsic fluorescence of KCl aqueous solution at room temperature and show that its intensity increases with the salt concentration. From the ab initio density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent DFT modeling, we propose that the fluorescence emission could originate from the stiffening of the hydrogen bond network in the hydration shell of solvated ion-pairs that suppresses the fast nonradiative decay and allows the slower radiative channel to become a possible decay pathway. Because computations suggest that the fluorophores are the local ion-water structures present in the prenucleation phase, this band could be the signature of the incoming salt precipitation.

Project description:A non-oxido V(v) complex with glutaroimide-dioxime (H3L), a ligand for recovering uranium from seawater, was synthesized from aqueous solution as Na[V(L)2]·2H2O, and the structure determined by X-ray diffraction. It is the first non-oxido V(v) complex that has been directly synthesized in and crystallized from aqueous solution. The distorted octahedral structure contains two fully deprotonated ligands (L3-) coordinating to V5+, each in a tridentate mode via the imide N (RV-N = 1.96 Å) and oxime O atoms (RV-O = 1.87-1.90 Å). Using 17O-labelled vanadate as the starting material, concurrent 17O/51V/1H/13C NMR, in conjunction with ESI-MS, unprecedentedly demonstrated the stepwise displacement of the oxido V 0000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000000000000000000000000000000 1111111111111111111111111111111111 1111111111111111111111111111111111 0000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000000000000000000000000000000 1111111111111111111111111111111111 1111111111111111111111111111111111 0000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000000000000000000000000000000 O bonds by glutaroimide-dioxime and verified the existence of the "bare" V5+/glutaroimide-dioxime complex, [V(L)2]-, in aqueous solution. In addition, the crystal structure of an intermediate 1?:?1 V(v)/glutaroimide-dioxime complex, [VO2(HL)]-, in which the oxido bonds of vanadate are only partially displaced, corroborates the observations by NMR and ESI-MS. Results from this work provide important insights into the strong sorption of vanadium on poly(amidoxime) sorbents in the recovery of uranium from seawater. Also, because vanadium plays important roles in biological systems, the syntheses of the oxido and non-oxido V5+ complexes and the unprecedented demonstration of the displacement of the oxido VO bonds help with the on-going efforts to develop new vanadium compounds that could be of importance in biological applications.
