In this work, we present detailed analyses of the dissociation of dilute aqueous solutions of glycine and of lysine over the range 1 < pH < 12. Using appropriate spectrum subtraction methods, we obtained ATR-IR spectra of the solvated species as a function of pH. Discernible changes in the ionic species were identified in the absorption region between 1800 and 1100 cm(-1). By applying peak deconvolution techniques to the spectra, we correctly interpret the apparent peak shift from 1615 to 1600 cm-1 as being due to the receding NH3+ asymmetric deformation alongside the appearing COO- asymmetric stretching. The effect of aqueous solution environment was also investigated in terms of 10 and 100 mmol/L NaCl. Salt solution spectra at each pH were also subtracted from each solution phase spectrum. Analysis of the deconvoluted peak areas due to C=O and COO- at pH ranges < 4.5 and those due to NH2 and NH3+ for pH > 8 resulted in consistent pK(a) values for the amino acids. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V.
