Abstract
Stability constants of K, Na, Ca, and Ba with 18-crown-6, K, Na, Li with sulfated beta-cyclodextrin and K, Li, Ca, Mg, Sr, and Ba ions with ([2-hydroxy-1,1-bis(hydroxymethyl) ethyl]-amino)-1-propanesulfonic acid (TAPS) were determined by capillary electrophoresis and computed using a general least squares minimizing program CELET. The results for 18-crown-6 agreed well with those evaluated by graphical methods or reported in the literature. Previously unknown stability constants of sulfated beta-cyclodextrins and TAPS determined for alkali and alkaline earth metals show that sulfated beta-cyclodextrin interacts with monovalent metals allowing to manipulate their effective mobility. It interacts stronger with divalent metal cations. TAPS, as zwitterionic buffer widely used in various analytical, biochemical and other applications, forms complexes with alkali and alkaline earth cations, and although the stability constants are rather low, the equilibria should be taken into account when TAPS is used and metal cations are present in solution at the same time.
