Ultrasonic relaxation study of preferential solvation in quasi-two-components aqueous solutions of amides and zinc salts.
To investigate the effect of preferential solvation the ultrasonic attenuation (2-50 MHz) and velocities (3 MHz) of ZnCl(2) and 2-chloroacetamide (ClCH(2)CONH(2)) in water and its quasi-binary mixtures with the ratio (ZnCl(2)+ClCH(2)CONH(2)):H(2)O=1:55 at 298.15 K have been measured. The creation of specific complexes in the ClCH(2)CONH(2)-H(2)O-ZnCl(2) system have a relaxational character which, within the measurements of ultrasonic absorption in the frequency range 2-50 MHz, have been observed. On the base of these properties the kinetic and dynamic parameters of the observed relaxation have been calculated. To bring into relief the influence of Cl atom in the 2-chloroacetamide molecules for complexation process it has been investigated also the system AA-H(2)O-ZnCl(2). The next step of searching was to investigate the system of CHAA-H(2)O-ZnBr(2), to reduce the influence of Cl atom within ZnCl(2) molecule at the complexation process. The main aim of presented study was to investigate the possibility of complexation in the aqueous solutions of ZnCl(2) with the part of 2-ClCH(2)CONH(2) (CHAA). With regard of big complexing ability of zinc, there exist a theoretical possibility of attachment CHAA to the inner coordination sphere of zinc through chloride atom. There can create here outer-sphere as well as inner-sphere complexes. As a results the observed relaxation processes have been attributed to creation and disintegration the following complexes: Zn(H(2)O)(2)(CHAA)(4)(2+) and Zn(2+)(H(2)O)(3)(CHAA)Cl(2)(-).
