A desk-computer program for calculation of the parameters of acid-base titration curves and protonation or metal-complex stability constants from potentiometric data

The program MINIPOT is designed to run on a desk-computer with 16-kbyte of memory. It can calculate the optimum values of the parameters of a blank acid-base titration in any solvent, and the protonation/deprotonation or overall stability constants of a maximum of four species with compositions H(q)L(p) or M(q)L(p) from potential, titrant volume and analytical concentration data. The program, written in BASIC, is based on the least-squares principle and is capable of simultaneous refinement of a maximum of four parameters.
