Abstract

Metal exchange reactions of acetylacetonate complexes with Cd(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) ions were investigated by using cadmium and copper ion selective electrodes. Changes in the electrode potential and pH of the solutions were monitored upon adding the pertinent metal Zn(II) of the acetylacetonate (AA) complexes. In the reverse system in which a stable Cu-AA complex exists in the solution prior to adding a secondary metal ion (Cd(II) or Zn(II)), no Cu(II) was replaced by either ion. In the systems containing Cd(II) and Zn(II) as a complexed form with AA or as free ions, the exchange reactions were not explained by considering the equilibrium stability constants of the Cd-AA and Zn-AA complexes.
