The stability of the Keggin polycation ε-Al13is monitored by 27Al NMR and ferron colorimetric assay upon heating aluminum aqueous solutions containing different amino acids with overall positive, negative, or no charge at pH 4.2. A focus on the effect of the amino acids on the isomerization process from ε- to δ-Al13is made, compared and discussed as a function of the type of organic additive. Amino acids such as glycine and β-alanine, with only one functional group interacting relatively strongly with aluminum polycations, accelerate isomerization in a concentration-dependent manner. The effect of this class of amino acids is also found increasing with the pKaof their carboxylic acid moiety, from a low impact from proline up to more than a 15-fold increased rate from the stronger binders such as glycine or β-alanine. Amino acids with relatively low C-terminal pKa, but bearing additional potential binding moieties such as free alcohol (hydroxyl group) moiety of serine or the amide of glutamine, speed the isomerization comparatively and even more than glycine or β-alanine, glutamine leading to the fastest rates observed so far. With aspartic and glutamic acids, changes in aluminum speciation are faster and significant even at room temperature but rather related to the reorganization toward slow reacting complexed oligomers than to the Al13isomerization process. The linear relation between the apparent rate constant of isomerization and the additive concentration points to a first-order process with respect to the additives. Most likely, the dominant process is an accelerated ε-Al13dissociation, increasing the probability of δ isomer formation. |
