Abstract
The complexation of Li+, Na+, Mg2+ and Ca2+ with 1,10-phenanthroline, 2,2′-bipyridine, 1,2-phenylenediamine, 2-aminopyridine, 8-hydroxyquinoline, catechol and ethylene glycol was studied in 95% ethanol by means of a competitive spectrophotometric method using murexide as indicator. Formation constants of 1:1 conplexes were determined. In the case of all ligands used, the stability of the complexes was found to vary in the order Mg2+ > Ca2+ > Li+ > Na+. It was found that the structure influences the formation and stability of resulting complexes. Effects of various parameters on complexation are discussed.
