Studies on the equilibria in Ag(I) - 1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane and Ag(I) - 1,4,8,11-tetramethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane systems in water

Summary Protonation constants of 1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane (T ACT) and 1,4,8,11-tetramethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane (TMT ACT) (=0.1) were determined bypH-metry. The values are logK ₁=10.922, logK ₂=10.511, logK ₃=2.646, logK ₄=1.620 forT ACT, and logK ₁=9.387, logK ₂=9.050, logK ₃=2.491, logK ₄=1.380 forTMTACT. Absorption maxima of the complexes AgTA CT(NO₃)₂ and AgTMTACT(NO₃)₂ were found to be ₁=280 nm, ₂=350 nm, and ₁=290 nm, ₂=400 nm, respectively. The disproportionation constants of Ag(I) ions in the presence of the amines were determined by potentiometry: forTA CT logK _d =12.778, and forTMT ACT logK _d =11.778. The mechanisms of the electrode processes taking place in solutions of the complexes under investigation were examined by means of chronovoltamperometric and coulometric measurements. The formal potential,E _f ⁰ , of the system: AgTMT ACT ²⁺+e AgTMT ACT ⁺ is +0.450 V vs. NHE.

Untersuchungen zu den Gleichgewichten Ag(I) -1,4,8,11-Tetraazacyclotetradekan und Ag(I) -1,4,8,11-Tetramethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradekan in Wasser

Zusammenfassung Die Protonierungskonstanten von 1,4,8,11-Tetraazacyclotetradekan (TACT) und 1,4,8,11-Tetramethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradekan (TMT ACT) wurdenpH-metrisch bei =0.1 bestimmt. Folgende Werte wurden ermittelt: logK ₁=10.922, logK ₂=10.511, logK ₃=2.646, logK ₄=1.620 fürTACT und logK ₁=9.387, logK ₂=9.050, logK ₃=2.491, logK ₄=1.380 fürTMT ACT. Die Absorptionsmaxima der Komplexe AgTACT(NO₃)₂ und AgTMTACT(NO₃)₂ waren ₁=280 nm, ₂=350 nm, bzw. ₁=290 nm, ₂=400 nm. Die Disproportionierungskonstanten der Ag(I)-Ionen in Gegenwart der Amine wurden potentiometrisch bestimmt: logK _d =12.778 fürTACT und logK _d =11.778 fürTMTACT. Der Mechanismus des Elektrodenprozesses in den Komplexlösungen wurde mittels Chronovoltamperometrie und Coulometrie überprüft. Das formale PotentialE _f ⁰ des Systems AgTMT ACT ²⁺+eAgTMT ACT ⁺ ist +0.450 V gegenüber NHE.
