For the dissociation constants of thymolphthalexone the following values have been found: pK(3) = 7.03 +/- 0.02, pK(4) = 8.05 +/- 0.09 (by potentiometric titration), pK(5) = 10.83 +/- 0.10, pK(6) = 12.99 +/- 0.11 (by spectrophotometry). They were determined at I = 0.4 and at 25 degrees.     

The pK(a) values of N,N,N',N'-tetrakis-(2-hydroxypropyl)ethylenediamine

Aqueous solutions of the industrially important chelating agent N,N,N',N'-tetrakis(2-hydroxypropyl)ethylenediamine exhibit basic properties. The proton dissociation constants were determined to be 8.99 +/- 0.04 (pK(1)) and 4.30 +/- 0.04 (pK(2)) by potentiometric titration at 25 degrees in 0.15M sodium chloride.     

Potentiometric determination of the dissociation constants of an asymmetric sorbent containing l-proline, and the stability constants of its Cu(II) complexes

The dissociation constants of the carboxyl groups (pK(a1) = 2.2, n = 1.8) and amino groups (pK(a2) = 9.5, n(2) = 1.6) of a sorbent prepared by reacting l-proline with a cross-linked chloromethylated styrene polymer have been determined by potentiometric titration. The potentiometrically measured stability constants of the Cu(II) complexes of the resin (logbeta(1) = 6.9 and log beta(2) = 12.4) were found to be close to the values for the Cu(II) complexes of N-benzyl-l-proline. For complexed resins of alpha-amino-acid type the pH-values of decomplexation do not appear to be directly correlated with the stability constants.     

Thermal and Potentiometric Titrations of Phytic Acid

Abstract

Values for the ionization constants and the heats of ionization of phytic acid (inositol hexaphosphate) have been determined by simultaneous potentiometric and thermal titration in a titration microcalorimeter. The potentiometric results are in substantial agreement with those found by discontinuous titration; the heat liberated from pH 10.4 to 6.8 is essentially that found using a batch microcalorimeter. Ionization of phytic acid may be generally characterized as having five groups similar to pK of phosphoric acid, two groups similar to pK2 of phosphoric acid and 4 groups similar to pK4 of pyrophosphoric acid. A single group has pK ～ 5 with ΔH_i ～ -1.1 kcal/mol.

Acidity and alkali metal adsorption on the SiO2-aqueous solution interface

The intrinsic deprotonation constant (pK(a(2))(int)) and the intrinsic ion exchange constants (pK(Me(+))(int)) of Li(+), Na(+), and K(+) on SiO(2) were uniquely determined at 30 degrees C by using the potentiometric titration data, the Gouy-Chapman-Stern-Grahame (GSCG) model for the structure of the electrical double-layer (edl) and the double-extrapolation method. The values of these constants were pK(a(2))(int) = 6.57, pK(Li(+))(int) = pK(Na(+))(int) = pK(K(+))(int) = 5.61. The chemical meaning of intrinsic equilibrium constants and the equality in the values of pK(Li(+))(int), pK(Na(+))(int) and pK(K(+))(int) were discussed.     

Stability constants of the ternary complexes of CuDTPA, NiDCTA, CrEDTA, CoHEEDTA, NiHEEDTA and CuHEEEDT Aheedta with OH-

The acid dissociation constants of the metal chelates H(3)CuDTPA, H(2) NiDCTA, HCrEDTA, HCoHEEDTA, HNiHEEDTA and HCuHEEDTA were determined by potentiometric titration. The constants determined at an ionic strength of 0.1 were pK(a,1) = 2.1; pK(a,2) = 2.8 and pK(a,3) = 4.75 for H(3) CuDTPA (296 K), pK(a,1) = 2.16 for HCrEDTA (298 K); pK(a,1) = 1.6 and pK(a,2) = 2.0 for H(2) NiDCTA (298 K); pK(a,1) = 2.24 for HCoHEEDTA, pK(a,1) = 2.47 for HCuHEEDTA and pK(a,1) = 1.73 for HNi-HEEDTA. At high pH the formation of ternary hydroxo-complexes was observed for the chelates CrEDTA(-) (pK(a,1) = 7.35; pK(a,1) = 12.35), CoHEEDTA(-) (pK(a,1) = 11.74), NiHEEDTA(-) (pK(a,2) = 12,44) and CuHEEDTA(-) (pK(a,2) = 10.45).     

The acid dissociation constants of 2,3-quinoxalinedithiol

Sodium salts of 2,3-quinoxalinedithiol have been prepared and used for determination of the acid ionization constants by potentiometric titration. The fully protonated form of the reagent was used in an alternative determination of the first ionization constant by a solubility method. The constants are pK(2), == 6.84 +/- 0.04 and pK(2) = 9.95 +/- 0.03.     

Accurate determination of low pK values by (1)H NMR titration

The NMR titration methodology to determine acid dissociation constants in aqueous solutions is extended for pK(a) values between 0 and 2, where potentiometric titrations are no longer applicable. (1)H NMR spectra are acquired for single samples of constant acid concentration (e.g. 0.02M), controlled ionic strength (I=1M with HNO(3)/NaNO(3)) and varying pH. To avoid biased pH readings due to the acid error of the glass electrode, true, concentration-based pH values are deduced by combination of the charge balance equation with information from (1)H NMR chemical shifts of the investigated acid. The method has been tested on histidine (pK(1)=1.83+/-0.02) and yielded the dissociation constant of dichloroacetic acid (pK=1.06+/-0.01) for the first time with good accuracy and precision. Dichloroacetic acid is recommended as an NMR spectroscopical "indicator molecule" for in situ monitoring the pH in strong acidic solutions of other equilibrium systems.     

Apparent dissociation constants of polycarboxylic acids in presence of polycations

The dissociation behaviour of poly(acrylic acid) and poly(ethylene-alt-maleic acid) has been investigated by both classical potentiometric titration and colloid titration as an alternative way. In the case of colloid titration, the monovalent counterions are assumed to be replaced by the oppositely charged polycation in the course of titration, so that the total concentration of anionic groups of the polycarboxylic acid is determined. As a consequence the apparent dissociation constants determined by polyelectrolyte complex formation do not depend on the degree of dissociation. In contrast to this finding, potentiometric titration is known to result in apparent dissociation constants which decrease with increasing degree of dissociation. The release of protons from the acid groups of the polycarboxylic acids is promoted by the complex formation with the strong cationic polyelectrolyte.     

Thermodynamic dissociation constants of isocaine, physostigmine and pilocarpine by regression analysis of potentiometric data

Concentration and mixed dissociation constant(s) of three drug acids, H(J)L, isocaine, physostigmine and pilocarpine, at various ionic strengths, I, in the range 0.03-0.81 and 25 degrees C have been determined with the use of regression analysis of potentiometric titration data when common parameter, pK(a), and group parameters E'(0), L(0), and H(T) are simultaneously refined. Internal calibration of the glass electrode cell in the concentration scale [H(+)] performed during titration was used. The estimate of ill-conditioned group parameters has a great influence on a systematic error in estimated pK(a) and therefore it makes the computational strategy important. As more group parameters are refined and a better fit achieved, a more reliable estimate of dissociation constants results. The thermodynamic dissociation constant, pK(a)(T), an ill-conditioned ion-size parameter, ?, and the salting-out coefficient, C, were estimated by non-linear regression of {pK(a), I} data and an extended Debye-Hückel equation. The goodness-of-fit test based on regression diagnostics is a measure of the reliability of parameters, and proves that reliable estimates for isocaine pK(a)(T)(=)8.96(1), ?=8(3) A and C=0.50(3) at 25 degrees C, for physostigmine pK(a)(T)(=)8.07(3), ?=19(26) A and C=0.64(3) at 25 degrees C, and for pilocarpine pK(a)(T)(=)7.00(1), ?=7(1) A and C=0.53(2) at 25 degrees C were found.     

Effect of group II metal cations on catecholate oxidation.

The unexpected effects of Ca(2+) on the free-radical chain reactions of dopamine, norepinephrine, isoproterenol, and pyrocatechol oxidation are studied using oxygen consumption measurements, EPR-spectroscopy, UV/VIS spectrophotometry, and by potentiometric titration. It is found that the formation of Ca(2+)-catecholate complexes is accompanied by an increase in the dissociation constants (K(ai) ) of their phenolic hydroxyls. At pH>pK(ai) and in the presence of alkaline-earth metal cations, the rate of catecholate oxidation increases (Ca(2+), Mg(2+)> Sr(2+), Ba(2+)), whereas on addition of Zn ions the rate decreases. The effects of Group II metal cations on catecholate autoxidation are concomitant with a transient increase of the EPR signal for metal-semiquinonate complexes. Therefore, the effects of Ca(2+) and other alkaline-earth metal cations on catecholate autoxidation can be defined as 1) additional deprotonation of catechol OH-groups involved in the formation of M(2+)-catecholate complexes, the latter exceeding catechols in the susceptibility to dioxygen-induced oxidation and 2) formation of relatively stable free-radical intermediates responsible for chain propagation.     

Potentiometric titration behavior of poly(ethylene glycol methyl ether)-b-poly(ethylenimine)

Poly(ethylene glycol methyl ether)-b-poly(ethylenimine hydrochloride) was characterized using potentiometric and viscosimetric titration methods. The average chemical compositions of the polyamine hydrochloride salts estimated by the acid-base titration,¹H-NMR, and elemental analysis were compared. The apparent dissociation constant, pK, and the inherent viscosity of the polyamine hydrochloride were found to be highly dependent on the degree of neutralization. Very strong coulombic interactions among the charged sites were observed at low pH's for this polymer.

The dissociation equilibria of di(2,4,4-trimethylpentyi) phosphinic acid, mono(2,4,4-trimethylpentyl) phosphinic acid, di(n-octyl)phosphinic acid and mono(n-octyl)phosphinic acid have been studied in ethanol-water mixtures by potentiometric titration at 25 degrees C.

The obtained pK(a) values have been correlated with the corresponding values in water, determined both indirectly by means of extraction measurements and by estimation using the suitable Hammett equation.     

Determination of dissociation constants for coordination compounds of Cr(III) and Co(III) using potentiometric and spectrophotometric methods

The acid–base properties of analogous complex ions of chromium(III) and cobalt(III) in aqueous solution have been studied. The equilibrium constants for all metal complexes were determined by using potentiometric and spectrophotometric titration methods. First, dissociation constants for the studied complexes of Cr(III) and Co(III) were determined by means of the potentiometric titration method and using the STOICHIO computer programme. Then, pH-spectrophotometric titrations were performed and the OriginPro 7.5 computer programme was used to calculate the same constants. The measurements using both methods were carried out under the same conditions of temperature, T = 298.15 K, and over the same pH range 2.00–10.00, respectively. It turned out that the two methods used enabled us to obtain acidity constants in very good agreement.     

Multiwavelength spectrophotometric determination of acid dissociation constants Part IV. Water-insoluble pyridine derivatives

A multiwavelength spectrophotometric (WApH) titration method for determination of acid dissociation constants (pK(a) values) of ionizable compounds developed previously was applied in the case of pyridine derivatives of pharmaceutical interest. Specifically, UV absorption spectra of the drug solution are acquired in the course of a pH-metric titration using an optical device based on a fibre optics dip probe, a light source and a diode array detector. Target factor analysis was applied to deduce the pK(a) values from the spectral data recorded at different pH. Using this technique, the pK(a) values of six pyridine derivatives were determined successfully. It was demonstrated that the WApH technique in this case outperforms conventional pH-metric methods with respect to the measurement of pK(a) values of the sparingly water soluble samples reported in this study.     

Determination of dissociation constants of weak acids by deconvolution of proton binding isotherms derived from potentiometric data

Potentiometric titration of six carboxylic acid analytes were measured in aqueous and semiaqueous solvents to determine the effect of the solvent composition on the dissociation constants of the acids. The analytes studied were monoprotic (formic acid, acetic acid), diprotic (maleic and succinic acid) and triprotic (1, 2, ranging in composition from 0 to 80% by volume dioxane. The methodology used to assess the acidity constants was deconvolution of the proton binding isotherm of each analyte in each of the solvents. The dissociation constants agreed with those reported in the literature for titration in water. In the presence of the organic component, correlations relating the acidity constants with properties of the media were also found. In particular, affinity distributions derived from potentiometric titration data were used to assess the solvent media for resolving dissociation constants of weak acids and bases.     

Dissociation Constants of Protonated Amines in Water at Temperatures from 293.15 K to 343.15 K

The dissociation constants of protonated 2-amino-1-ethanol (MEA), diethanol amine (DEA), triethanol amine (TEA), methyldiethanol amine (MDEA), 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol (AMP), 3-dimethylamino-1-propanol (DMAP), tris(hydromethyl)aminomethane (THAM), 2-[2-(dimethylamino)ethoxy]ethanol (DMAEOE) and, 1,2-bis(2-aminoethoxy)ethane (DiAEOE) were determined in the temperature range 293.15 to 343.15 K using a potentiometric titration method. The experimental technique was first validated using as reference the available literature data of MDEA. The dissociation enthalpies of amines were derived from their dissociation constants using the Van’t Hoff equation. Experimental dissociation constants and dissociation enthalpies were discussed in term of amine structure and compared with literature values when available.     

Influence of solvent on the strength of cyclic oxygen-containing phosphorus acids

Conclusions The dissociation constnats of cyclic oxygen-containing phosphorus acids in absolute alcohol were measured by potentiometric titration in charge transfer circuits.For acyclic phosphorus acids ABPOOH, there is a Brönsted dependence in pK(EtOH)-pk(H₂O) coordinates, which does not apply to 1,3-alkylenephosphoric acids, while in the pK(MeNO₂)pK(EtOH) coordinates there is a uniform Brönsted dependence for all the acids.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 6, pp. 1244–1248, June, 1987.
