✦ Synopsis
The equilibrium and kinetics of the complexation of Co n by folic acid have been studied at 25 ~ the ionic strength being regulated with KNO 3 in the 5.6-7.3 pH range. Kinetic studies were performed using the stopped-flow method. Under our experimental conditions one process was observed; a reaction which took place within a few seconds. The results are consistent with the formation of a 1 : 1 complex between the reactants and a mechanism is proposed to account for the observed behaviour. Equilibrium constants for the Co II and folic acid system, as well as activation parameters, are reported.
