Abstract
The formation constants of the complexes formed between H+, Co2+, Ni2+, and Cu2+ and DL-2,3-diaminopropionic acid, L-2,4-diaminobutyric acid, L-ornithine, L-lysine, and L-arginine have been measured potentiometrically at 25 °C and I= 0.10 mol dm–3(K[NO3]). At intermediate pH values the equilibria have been shown to include a complicated range of protonated complexes with ligands behaving as either bi-or tri-dentate ligands depending on the pH and separation of the nitrogen donor atoms. Probable structures for the various complexes are discussed.
