title: Formation constants for the complexes of levulinate and acetate with manganese(II), cobalt(II), nickel(II), copper(II), zinc(II) and hydrogen ions.
abstract: Formation constants are reported for the levulinate complexes of manganese(II), cobalt(II), nickel(II), copper(II) and zinc(II) at 25 degrees in 0.1M chloride medium. In addition, results are presented for the corresponding acetate complexes for comparison. Protonation constants for the two ligands are also reported.
