Solution equilibria of the ternary systems of ZnII, NiII, CoII, CdII, PbII, UO2
II, CeIII, and LaIII with N-[tris(hydroxymethyl)methyl]glycine (tricine), N-(2-acetamido)iminodiacetic acid (H2ADA), and dicarboxylic
amino acids (aspartic and glutamic) as primary ligands and 3-amino-5-mercapto-1,2,4-triazole as a
secondary ligand have been studied pH-metrically at (25 ± 0.1) °C, and a constant ionic strength I = 0.1
mol dm-3 (KNO3). The formation of various binary and ternary complexes has been inferred from the
corresponding titration curves. The stability constants of the different complexes are determined and
discussed in terms of the nature of both the ligands and metal ions.
