Complexation of N-bis[2-(1,2-dicarboxyethoxy)ethyl]aspartic acid with Fe(II), Co(II), and Ni(II) in aqueous solution |

Abstract: | In a search for environment-friendly metal chelating ligands for industrial applications, the protonation and complex formation equilibria of N-bis2-(1,2-dicarboxyethoxy)ethyl]aspartic acid (BCA6) with Fe(II), Co(II), and Ni(II) ions in aqueous 0.1 M NaCl solution were studied at 25°C by potentiometric titration. The model for complexation and the stability constants of different complexes were determined for each metal ion using SUPERQUAD. In all cases, complex formation was dominated by stable ML4? complexes. |
