Selective monovalent cation association and exchange around Keplerate polyoxometalate macroanions in dilute aqueous solutions.

The interaction between water-soluble Keplerate polyoxometalate {Mo(72)Fe(30)} macroions and small countercations is explored by laser light scattering, anomalous small-angle X-ray scattering (ASAXS), and isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) techniques. The macroions are found to be able to select the type of associated counterions based upon the counterions' valence state and hydrated size, when multiple types of additional cations are present in solution (even among different monovalent cations). The preference goes to the cations with higher valences or smaller hydrated sizes if the valences are identical. This counterion exchange process changes the magnitude of the macroion-counterion interaction and, thus, is reflected in the dimension of the self-assembled {Mo(72)Fe(30)} blackberry supramolecular structures. The hydrophilic macroions exhibit a competitive recognition of various monovalent counterions in dilute solutions. A critical salt concentration (CSC) for each type of cation exists for the blackberry formation of {Mo(72)Fe(30)} macroions, above which the blackberry size increases significantly with the increasing total ionic strength in solution. The CSC values are much smaller for cations with higher valences and also decrease with the cations' hydrated size for various monovalent cations. The change of blackberry size corresponding to the change of ionic strength in solution is reversible.
