bicarbonateadduct
Bicarbonateadduct, also written bicarbonate adduct, is a term used to describe a complex formed when the bicarbonate anion (HCO3−) associates with another chemical entity to form an adduct. In practice, bicarbonate adducts occur in coordination chemistry, supramolecular chemistry, and solution studies where HCO3− binds to metal centers or to neutral donors through hydrogen bonding. The concept may also encompass hydrogen-bonded adducts between bicarbonate and small molecules such as water, amines, or alcohols.
Binding modes for bicarbonateadducts vary with the partner molecule. In coordination complexes, bicarbonate can coordinate through
Preparation and characterization of bicarbonateadducts typically involve mixing a soluble salt of the metal or host
Bicarbonateadducts are of interest in fields such as metal-catalyzed reactions, CO2 capture and conversion research, environmental
