Ion pairing in H2O and D2O solutions of lead nitrate, as determined with 207Pb NMR spectroscopy

Аннотация

The temperature and concentration dependences of ²⁰⁷Pb NMR chemical shifts of Pb(NO₃)₂ in D₂O are reported. The results are analyzed in terms of exchange between a solvated lead ion and the Pb(NO₃)⁺ contact-ion pair. Predictions of the chemical shift difference between the aquated ion and contact-ion pair are carried out for the gas-phase entities and for the solvated species with a DFT calculation. Previously reported data on ²⁰⁷Pb NMR chemical shifts of Pb(NO₃)₂ in H₂O are reevaluated. From the analysis, the enthalpy of dissociation of the contact-ion pair is found to be–42.3±1.0 kJ/mol.
