Composition and stability of copper(II), nickel(II), and cobalt(II) complexes with mono- and bis(2-carboxy)-2-pycolylamine

Resumo

Complexation of N-(2-pyridyl)methyl-3-aminopropionic (HL¹) and N-(2-pyridyl)methyliminodipropionic (H₂L²) acids with copper(II), nickel(II), and cobalt(II) ions is studied. The composition of complexes is determined using the Starik–Barbanel relative yield method. The acid dissociation constants of HL¹ and H₂L² are determined potentiometrically; the stability constants of HL¹ and H₂L² complexes with metal ions are calculated.
