Abstract:
:In this study emission and synchronous-scan fluorescence spectroscopy have been used to investigate the interaction of the class A (oxygen seeking 'hard acid') metal Al(3+), with Suwannee River fulvic acid (SRFA), as well as competition between Al(3+) and several other metal ions (Ca(2+), Mg(2+), Cu(2+), Pd(2+), La(3+), Tb(3+) and Fe(3+)) for binding sites on SRFA. Of the four metal ions possessing very similar (and relatively low) ionic indices (Ca(2+), Mg(2+), Cu(2+) and Pd(2+)) only the latter two paramagnetic ions significantly quenched SRFA fluorescence emission intensity. Of the four metal ions possessing very similar (and relatively low) covalent indices (Ca(2+), Mg(2+), La(3+) and Tb(3+)) only the last paramagnetic ion (Tb(3+)) significantly quenched SRFA fluorescence. None of these metals was able to significantly compete with SRFA-bound Al(3+).Fe(3+), which differs substantially from all of the other metals examined in this study in that it possesses a relatively high ionic index (but not as high as Al(3+)) and a relatively low covalent index (but not as low as Al(3+)), was able not only to quench SRFA fluorescence but also to compete (at least to some extent) with SRFA-bound Al(3+). Synchronous-scan fluorescence SRFA spectra taken in the absence and presence of Fe(3+) and/or Al(3+) support the view that these two metal ions can compete for sites on SRFA. The results of these fluorescence experiments further confirm the Al(3+), and metal ions that have electronic properties somewhat similar to Al(3+) (such as Fe(3+)) are somewhat unique in their ability to interact strongly with binding sites on fulvic acids.
