title: Electrospray ionization mass spectrometry in studies of aluminium(III)-ligand solution equilibria.
abstract: Electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) has been applied to the study of solution equilibria between Al(III) and the two ligands 4-hydroxy-3-pyridinecarboxylic acid (4H3P) and 3-hydroxy-4-pyridinecarboxylic acid (3H4P). The results compare well with the speciation data obtained from potentiometric, UV-visible spectroscopy, and NMR measurements. This agreement suggests the applicability of ES-MS to the study of more complicated aluminium-ligand systems.
