title: Spectrophotometric studies on 5,7-dibromo-8-aminoquinoline chelates of some bivalent transition metals.
abstract: The acid dissociation constant of 5,7-dibromo-8-amino-quinoline and the stability constant of 1:1 chelates of some bivalent transition metals were determined spectrophotometrically in 50% v v dioxan-water medium at an ionic strength of 0.50 at 25.0 +/- 0.1 degrees and compared with those of 8-aminoquinoline. The dissociation constant was found to be 7.54 x 10(-2) and the stability constants (log K(1)) were 2.3 (copper), 1.8 (nickel), 1.8 (zinc), 2.2 (cobalt) and 1.6 (cadmium), respectively. The dissociation constants are greater and the stability constants smaller than the corresponding values for 8-aminoquinoline and 8-quinolinol.
