title: Study of solution equilibria between aluminum(III) ion and ofloxacin.
abstract: The complex formation equilibria between aluminium(III) ion and ofloxacin in 0.1 mol/l(-1) ionic medium at 298 K were studied by glass electrode pH-metric and UV spectrophotometric measurements. Within ofloxacin to aluminium mole ratio ranging from 2:1 to 25:1 and in pH interval from 2.5 to 10.5, the obtained experimental results were explained by the formation of the following complexes: AI(Hoflo) (log beta1,1,1 = 15.93 +/- 0.03), Al(oflo)2 (log beta1,2,0= 14.84 +/- 0.07), Al(oflo) (log beta1,1,0 = 10.20 +/- 0.04) as well as several other mixed and pure hydrolytic complexes. The structure and mechanism of the formation of the complexes and their possible implications on aluminum toxicity were discussed.
