Die Reaktion von Eisen(III) mit Brenzkatechin-3,5-disulfonsäure (Tiron) und Äthylendiamintetraessigsäure

The Reaction of Iron(III) with Catechol-3,5-Disulphonic Acid (Tiron) and Ethylene Diamine-Tetracetic Acid In the system iron(III)-Tiron-EDTA a ternary chelate could be detected besides the well known complexes in a weak acid solution. By means of spectro-photometric measurements under various conditions (concentration of ligands) we found [FeHYL]^4? with λ_max = 555 nm und ε₅₅₅ = 2500 l · mol^?1 · cm^?1. The formation of the ternary chelate is an inner-complex reaction of displacing, in which donor atoms of the EDTA in FeY^? are replaced by Tiron. By graphic methods the equilibrium constants could be calculated from the measurements.
