Adsorption studies of benzenesulfonic acid; 3,3 ' ,3 " -phosphinidynetris-,
trisodium salt (TPPTS); and di-(mu -tertiobutylthiolato) dicarbonyl, bis(b
enzenesulfonic acid, 3,3 ' ,3 " -phosphinidynetris-, trisodium salt) dirhod
ium ([Rh(mu -(SBu)-Bu-t)(CO)(TPPTS)](2)) from aqueous solutions on four dif
ferent silica samples were carried out at 25 degreesC. The isotherms obtain
ed were correlated by several models, among which Fowler's one was found to
be the most satisfactory. The: solubilities of TPPTS and [Rh(mu -(SBu)-Bu-
t)(CO)(TPPTS)](2) in water at four temperatures in the range (25-80) degree
sC were also studied.
