A method of transporting metal ions by introducing a metal complex into a medium containing a moiety which demands the metal ion and the complex releases the ions in a controlled manner upon demand. The metal complexes have an aqueous proton induced dissociation property represented by a sigmoidally-shaped curve on a cartesian coordinate plot of the negative log of the metal ion concentration versus the negative log of hydrogen ion concentration. This dissociation property causes a controlled release of metal ion into mediums containing a reacting moiety upon demand for the metal ion. For example, metalworking emulsions of oil and water are stabilized by the addition thereto of minor amounts of a metal complex, e.g., disodium monocopper(II) citrate, which at alkaline pH metalworking conditions above about 7 to about 9 releases metal cations to the emulsions imparting stabilizing characteristics which prevent emulsion degradation by a number of factors commonly encountered in metalworking operations. Also, the method is effective in the controlled release of metal ions in the normal range of physiological pH, i.e., about 4 to 9, for growth controlling action against microorganisms including bacteria, fungi and viruses.
一种通过将金属配合物引入含有需要金属离子的基团的介质中来转运金属离子的方法,该配合物在需要时以受控的方式释放离子。金属配合物具有水性质子诱导解离特性,该特性在负对数金属离子浓度与负对数氢离子浓度的直角坐标图上呈S形曲线。这种解离特性使得在需要金属离子的情况下,可以对含有反应基团的介质进行受控释放金属离子。例如,通过向油水乳化液中添加少量金属配合物(例如二钠单铜(II)柠檬酸盐),可以在碱性pH金属加工条件(大约7至9)下释放金属阳离子到乳化液中,赋予其稳定特性,从而防止乳化液在金属加工操作中遇到的多种因素导致的降解。此外,该方法在生理pH的正常范围内(即约4至9)对微生物包括细菌、真菌和病毒的生长具有受控释放金属离子的作用。
