Popis: The attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared dialysis technique is introduced for the time-resolved investigation of the binding processes of Ca2+ to polyacrylates dissolved in water. We observed transient formation of intermediates in water with various types of coordination of the carboxylate group to Ca2+ throughout the complexation steps. Time-resolved changes in the spectra were analyzed with principal component analysis, from which the spectral species were obtained as well as their formation kinetics. We propose a model for the mechanisms of Ca2+ coordination to polyacrylates. The polymer chain length plays an important role in Ca2+ binding.
