Abstract

The complexation of Cue^2+^ with 1, 8‐diamino‐3, 6‐diaza‐2, 7‐octanedione (__N, N′‐diglycyl‐1, 2‐ethanediamine, DED) and with 1, 9‐diamino‐3, 7‐diaza‐2, 8nonanedione (__N, N′‐diglycyl‐1, 3‐propanediamine, DPD) has been studied by potentiometric and by spectrophotometric titration. With both ligands L the complexation to Cue^2+^ leads to relatively complicated equilibria with CuLH^3+^, CuL^2+^, CuLH^−2^, and dimeric Cu~2~L complexes. With DED, another dimeric species, Cu~2~L~2~H, is formed in addition. Independent numerical treatment of spectrophotometric and poteritiometric titrations was used to obtain a satisfactory model for the complexation and to test the relative discriminatory power of the two methods. Titrations of glycine ethylamide (GEA) were used as an additional test and as a model for DED and DPD. It was shown that in each case spectrophotometric titrations give results of similar reproducibility and have a discriminatory power equal to or better than potentiometric titrations, provided that optimum mathematical algorithms are used in the numerical treatment.
