title: An LC method for measuring complex formation equilibria by competitive chelation.
abstract: A method, entailing the use of a competitor ligand, is described for measuring complex formation constants by HPLC. The log of the formation constant of Gd(III) 2,6-bis(aminomethyl)pyridinetetraacetate was determined to be 18.6, a previously unreported value.
