Abstract
Complexing behaviour of three dihydroxybenzenes (DHB) namely, hydroquinone, resorcinol and catechol with Th(IV) along with their protonation constants were studied in 1 M NaClO4 medium at 23 ± 0.5 °C, using pH titration technique. Both protonation and metal-ligand equilibrium constants of dihydroxybenzenes were computed using advance software suite of program HYPERQUAD. Logarithmic values of overall protonation constants (log β1H and log β2H) were found to be 11.47 ± 0.05 and 21.45 ± 0.06, for hydroquinone, 11.76 ± 0.04 and 20.98 ± 0.04 for resorcinol and 12.58 ± 0.03 and 21.87 ± 0.08 for catechol respectively. Complex formation has been investigated in the pH range 2 to 4. The logarithmic values of metal-ligand equilibrium constants obtained in the present work were β13-1=48.51 ± 0.67 and β14-1=64.86 ± 1.25 for hydroquinone, β110=16.98 ± 0.16, β13-1=46.46 ± 0.18 and β14-2=59.65 ± 0.20 for resorcinol and β11-1=14.06 ± 0.10 for catechol. The literature values were reviewed.
