An lonophoretic study of the interactions between metal lons and 1-phenyl-3-pyrazolidinone

Summary The ionic behaviour of 1-phenyl-3-pyrazolidinone (phenidone) at different pH values and its complexes with a selected group of metal ions such as Mg(II), Al(III), Cr(III), Mn(II), Fe(III), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) were investigated in the pH range of 1–13 by paper electrophoresis. pH-mobility curves were determined for phenidone, the nine metal ions and 21 metal-ligand systems with 1, 110 and 1100 metal: ligand ratios. The effect of the pH on complex formation and the influence of the phenidone concentration on the metal ion mobilities are discussed.Presented at the XXII International Conference on Coordination Chemistry, August 23–27, 1982, Budapest (Hungary).
