A new theoretical and experimental approach to determination of the thermodynamic dissociation constants of a number of active pharmaceutical compounds, such as 5-substituted-1H-tetrazoles and amino acids, has been proposed. We obtained our experimental data from A (absorbance) to C/mol•dm −3 (concentration of weak electrolyte) without either measuring pH during the experiment or using buffer solutions with a constant ionic strength. Thermodynamic dissociation constants were obtained by extrapolating the calculated dissociation constants to zero concentration of the investigated compound. We determined the previously unknown values of thermodynamic dissociation constants of three 5-substituted-1H-tetrazoles with poorly resolved spectra of the protonated and unprotonated forms.
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.
