Formation constants of acetate, hydrogencarbonate, malonate, citrate and 1,2,3-propanetricarboxylate complexes with Na+, K+ and Ca'+ were determined potentiometrically using sodium, potassium and calcium selective electrodes, at 25Β°C and at different ionic strengths, in the range 0 <II 1 M.

β¦ Synopsis
and (ii) carboxylates, amines, amino acids, complexones and nucleotides as organic ligands. The paper also identifies the main reasons responsible for the dispersion of the stability data on ion pairs in the literature. When possible, the trend of stability for the different metal ions interacting with the same ligand will be considered to find predictive interaction relationships. Since the stability of weak alkali and alkaline earth metal complexes are mainly due to electrostatic interaction, simple empirical relationships were obtained between log K and the charge of the anionic ligand. The interest for alkali and alkaline earth cations rises since they are used in study of basic science as components of the supporting electrolyte and are widely diffused in natural fluids. Some examples of application of this science were presented too, to show the role of weak complex formation in the modelling process of natural systems.

An experimental method was developed to determine the stability constants with nearly insoluble ligands in homogeneous solution. This method was tested using dibenzo crown ethers, which have a very low solubility in aqueous solution. The stability constants for the complexation of alkali and alkalin
