Abstract

The stability constants of ternary complexes of the MAL type have been determined for Cu(II), Zn(II) and Cd(II). The ligands chosen for this study belong to the biologically important ones viz. Bipyridyl (A) and Nitrilotriacetic acid (L). Log KMAL values for Cu(II), Zn(II) and Cd(II) are 11.42, 10.67 and 9.72, respectively, at temp.=25°C and μ=0.1 M (KNO3); the order is discussed.
