Abstract

Ternary complex species formed by the V3+ cation with the picolinic acid (Hpic, HL) and dipicolinic acid (H2dipic, H2L) ligands in aqueous solutions have been studied potentiometrically (25 °C, I=3.0 mol⋅dm−3 KCl ionic medium) and by spectrophotometric measurements. Application of the least-squares computer program LETAGROP to the experimental emf (H) data, taking into account the hydrolytic V(III) species and the binary V3+–picolinic acid and V3+–dipicolinic acid complexes, shows that under the investigated conditions the following ternary complexes are formed: [V(dipic)(pic)], [V(dipic)(pic)(OH)]− and [V(dipic)(pic)2]−. The stability constants of the ternary complexes were determined by potentiometric measurements whereas the spectrophotometric measurements were done in order to obtain a qualitative characterization of the complexes formed in aqueous solution.
