Aims: The formation constants of histidine complexes of Fe (III), Co (II), Ni (II), Cu(II), Zn (II) and Pb (II) at temperatures of 25, 30, 37, 45°C were determined potentiometrically, utilizing modified Bjerrum's method. Potentiometric titrations were carried out in 30% and 70% (v/v); 50% and 50% (v/v) water-dioxane mixtures. Ionic strength of medium was retained at 0.10 M by sodium nitrate. The first and second formation constants were obtained by plotting corrected pH versus concentration of standardized NaOH solution after each addition. Results: The trend for increasing stability in both aqueous solution and in dioxane-water mixtures is as follows: k f pb(II)-His < k f Co (II)-His < k f Zn (II)-His < k f Ni(II)-His < k f Cu(II)-His < k f Fe(III)-His The effects of dioxane and temperature on the formation constants of histidine complexes were examined. Our findings showed that the formation constants of the complexes increased as the
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
