Abstract
The study of sulfur within the plasma cells of Ascidia ceratodes [Carlson, R. M. K. (1975) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 72, 2217-2221; Frank, P., Carlson, R. M. K., & Hodgson, K. O. (1986) Inorg. Chem. 25, 470-478; Hedman, B., Frank, P., Penner-Hahn, J. E., Roe, A. L., Hodgson, K. O., Carlson, R. M. K., Brown, G., Cerino, J., Hettel, R., Troxel, T., Winick, H., & Yang, J. (1986) Nucl. Instrum. Methods Phys. Res., Sect. A 246, 797-800] has been extended with X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) spectroscopy. An intense absorption feature at 2482.4 eV and a second feature at 2473.7 eV indicate a large endogenous sulfate concentration, as well as smaller though significant amounts of thiol or thioether sulfur, respectively. A strong shoulder was observed at 2481.7 eV on the low-energy side of the sulfate absorption edge, deriving from a novel type of sulfur having a slightly lower oxidation state than sulfate sulfur. The line width of the primary transition on the sulfur edge of a vanadium (III) sulfate solution was found to be broadened relative to that of sodium sulfate, possibly deriving from the formation of the VSO4+ complex ion [Britton, H. T. S., & Welford, G. (1940) J. Chem. Soc., 761-764; Duffy, J. A., & Macdonald, W. J. D. (1970) J. Chem. Soc., 977-980; Kimura, T., Morinaga, M., & Nakano, J. (1972) Nippon Kagaku Zaishi, 664-667]. Similar broadening appears to characterize the oxidized sulfur types in vanadocytes. A very good linear correlation between oxidation state and peak position (in electronvolts) was found for a series of related sulfur compounds. This correlation was used to determine a 5+ oxidation state for the additional sulfur type at 2481.7 eV. (ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
