Abstract

The interactions of Ni(II) and Co(II) with 2-pyridinecarboxaldehyde have been investigated in aqueous solutions at μ = 0.10 M (KNO3) at 30 °C. The stability constants of different complex equilibria have been determined using potentiometric methods. Spectrophotometric methods were also used in the case of the nickel(II) – 2-pyridinecarboxaldehyde system. It was concluded that nickel(II) and cobalt(II), analogous to copper(II), enhance hyrdation of 2-pyridinecarboxaldehyde prior to deprotonation of one of the geminal hydroxy groups. Complex species of 1:1 as well as 1:2 metal ion to ligand composition exist under the experimental conditions used.
