Popis: | In this paper, we examined the structural, electronic and energetic data associated to the Mg-substitution in chlorophyll by three major toxic pollutants: Cd 2+ , Hg 2+ and Pb 2+ . We evidenced a highly versatile bonding of the cations with the pheophytin ligand, with a strong out-of-plane distortion for Hg and Pb. The binding energies ranged from slightly stronger than Mg 2+ in the case of Hg 2+ to much smaller for Pb 2+ . Nevertheless, our various approaches of free cations solvation allowed us to evidence that Mg-substitution should be possible for all title elements. |
