Abstract

The proton dissociation constant of 5-(4′-sulfonylazidophenylazo)-3-phenyl-2-thio- xothiazolidin-4-one (SPT) and the stability constants of its complexes with some metal ions were calculated potentiometrically in 0.1 M KCl and 40% (v/v) ethanol–water mixture. The order of stability was found to be Mn2+ < Co2+ < Ni2+ < Cu2+ < Zn2+. The effect of temperature on the dissociation of SPT and the stability of its complexes were studied. The corresponding thermodynamic functions were derived and discussed. The dissociation process is unspontaneous, endothermic, and entropically unfavorable. The formation of the metal complexes was found to be spontaneous, endothermic and entropically favorable.
