Abstract:
The specific adsorbents for the removal of heavy metal were synthesized by polyamidoamine dendrimer and blast furnace slag, and their physico-chemical properties were evaluated in this study. The batch experiment was evaluated the adsorptive water treatment capability of adsorbent, and the zeta potential and surface morphology were analyzed for evaluating of the material. In result, 10% volume loading adsorbent presented the high yields of heavy metal adsorption in water phase, and Cr (III) interacted highly with dendrimer adsorbents. Furthermore, it was evaluated that the adsorption properties of dendrimer adsorbent were increased with increasing the ligand-to-metal charge-transfer.

Metal-Ligand Bonds
In these complexes, transition metals form coordinate covalent bonds, a kind of Lewis acid-base interaction in which both of the electrons in the bond are contributed by a donor (Lewis base) to an electron acceptor (Lewis acid). The Lewis acid in...
Structural Isomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula. Structural isomerism of coordination compounds can be divided into two subcategories, the linkage isomers and coordination-sphere isomers.
Linkage isomers occur when the coordination compound contains a ligand that can bind to the transition metal center through two different atoms. For example, the CN− ligand can bind through the carbon atom or through the nitrogen atom. Similarly, SCN− can...

Crystal Field Theory - Octahedral Complexes
To explain the observed behavior of transition metal complexes (such as colors), a model involving electrostatic interactions between the electrons from the ligands and the electrons in the unhybridized d orbitals of the central metal atom has been developed. This electrostatic model is crystal field theory (CFT). It helps to understand, interpret, and predict the colors, magnetic behavior, and some structures of coordination compounds of transition metals.
CFT focuses on...
