Potentiometric pH titrations were also used to measure the stability constants of these ligands with V(IV) and V(V) and to study the structures of the complexes of (en(ama)(2))(2-) in aqueous solution. H-1 NMR was used to assign the protonation constant values to the different protons in H-2(en(ama)(2)). A pM versus pH plot confirmed that H-2(en(ama)(2)) has much stronger complexation than its bidentate analogues, in the same pH range. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V.

Its coordination properties with three lanthanide ions (La3+, Gd3+, and Lu3+) and Fe3+ have been studied in aqueous solution (I = 0.16 M NaCl, 25degreesC) by potentiometric pH, spectrophotometric, and H-1 NMR titrations. In total, eight pK(a) values could be determined by these diverse methods. From the H-1 NMR titrations, all the deprotonation steps could be determined and assigned (in groups). Strong hydrogen bonding among two nitrogen atoms and one oxygen atom on the pyrone ring was observed, and the corresponding pK(a) values were estimated to be 13.2 and 14.0. By comparison with similar systems, an equilibrium constant for the formation of the hydrogen bond was estimated}, keywords = {ACID-BASE, acidity constants, ALKALINE-EARTH, amino, BINDING-PROPERTIES, carboxylate chelator, CHEMISTRY, CONTRAST AGENTS, DERIVATIVES, DYNAMICS, Fe3+, GADOLINIUM, Gd3+, La3+, Lu3+, METAL-COMPLEXES, STABILITIES, stability constants}, isbn = {0008-4042}, url = {://000170070900078}, author = {Song, B. and Kurokawa, G.
