Étude thermodynamique de la complexation de l'argent par la thiourée et certains de ses derives alkylsubstitués

In order to find support for the validity of the hypothesis proposed by one of us regarding the different natures of the bonds in the four successive complexes formed between Ag⁺ and thiourea, the corresponding enthalpies are verified by direct calorimetry.Furthermore, because the influence of substituent groups on the nitrogen atoms may help to characterize the donor atom. the calorimetric enthalpies and potentiometric free energies of complexation between Ag⁺ and N-methylthiourea, N,N′- dimethylthiourea and N,N′-diethylthiourea have also been determined at 25°C, in aqueous medium of ionic strength μ = 0.5 M KNO₃.
