Abstract
Salicylic acid forms a 1:1 complex with boric acid, the reaction involving both the fully protonated ligand, and the salicylate ion. The kinetics of this reaction have been studied by the stopped-flow method. The stability constant for the reaction involving salicylate ion has been calculated from measurements of the absorbances of solutions at equilibrium and is the same as that obtained from the kinetic data. The kinetic results at pH values in the range 3.45–4.63 suggest that, when salicylic acid is the ligand, the complex is formed in two steps. A similar process may also occur with salicylate ions.
