Title: pH-Dependent Interactions between Keggin Heteropolyanions in Dilute Solutions: pH-Dependent Interactions between Keggin Heteropolyanions in Dilute Solutions

Abstract

Keggin phosphotungstate heteropolyanions (HPA), PW 12 O 40 3– , are known to interact via short‐range attraction and long‐range repulsion (SALR) at moderate and high solution concentrations and low‐pH (pH = 1). These interactions were identified through the observation of structure factor peaks in small‐angle X‐ray scattering (SAXS) data reported previously ( J. Phys. Chem. C 2016 , 120 , 1317). Here we describe the interactions between the same heteropolyanions with extremely low concentrations at low (pH = 0) and high pH (pH = 4.7) conditions. The solution chemistry of Keggin heteropolyanions at these two pH values provides a unique way to change the charge of the cluster anions without changing the structure (from the perspective of SAXS) and, at the same time, changing the hydrogen bonding interactions. The structure factors obtained from concentration dependent SAXS data reveal that the change in pH changes the nature of SALR interactions, consistent with the presence of the plenary PW 12 O 40 3− anion at pH = 0 and the monovacant lacunary PW 11 O 39 7– anion at pH = 4.7. At the low pH condition, the attractive interactions dominate to provide a peak near Q = 0 Å −1 momentummore » transfer in the structure factors, whereas at pH = 4.7 the repulsive interactions dominate, thereby eliminating the peak near Q = 0 Å −1 . The experimental results presented here are in agreement with the recent liquid state theory and computer simulation predictions on SALR interactions.« less
