Speciation of aqueous tellurium(IV) in hydrothermal solutions and vapors, and the role of oxidized tellurium species in Te transport and gold deposition

Despite the close association between tellurium (Te) and gold (Au) in many epithermal, orogenic, and intrusion-related hydrothermal ore deposits, the hydrothermal chemistry of Te remains poorly understood. We studied the protonation/ deprotonation and stru ...

Tellurium speciation under hydrothermal conditions

Lothar Helm, Pascal Grundler

Tellurium is the only element which forms a variety of minerals with gold as principal component (e.g. calaverite AuTe2, krennerite (AuAg)Te2, petzite Ag3AuTe2 and sylvanite AgAuTe4). These minerals have been known for a long time and are of economic value ...

Kinetic studies on the first dihydrogen aquacomplex, [Ru(H2)(H2O)5]2+: Formation under H2 pressure and catalytic H/D isotope exchange in water

André Merbach, Lothar Helm, Gabor Laurenczy, Oleg Yazyev, Pascal Grundler

The ruthenium(II) hexaaqua complex [Ru(H2O)6]2+ reacts with dihydrogen under pressure to give the h2-dihydrogen ruthenium(II) pentaaqua complex [Ru(H2)(H2O)5]2+.The complex was characterized by 1H, 2H and 17O NMR: d H = -7.65 ppm, J HD = 31.2 Hz, d O = -80 ...

Water-Exchange Study Revealed Unexpected Substitution Behavior of [(CO)2(NO)Re(H2O)3]2+ in Aqueous Media

André Merbach, Lothar Helm, Pascal Grundler, Marie-Line Lehaire

The pH-dependent water-exchange rates of [(CO)2(NO)Re(H2Ocis)2(H2Otrans)]2+ (1) in aq. media were investigated by means of 17O NMR spectroscopy at 298 K. Because of the low pKa value found for 1 (pKa = 1.4 ± 0.3), the water-exchange rate const. kobsH2Otran ...

Reactivity of manganese, technetium and rhenium aquacarbonyl-complexes as potential precursors for radiopharmaceuticals

Pascal Grundler

Technetium is an artificial element and its isotope 99mTc is now used for several years as radio-imaging agent. Much research effort is directed towards enhanced targeting of the imaging agents in order to improve accuracy of the diagnosis and reduce the r ...
