title: Spectrophotometric study of the complex formation of 3-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-2-mercaptopropenoic acid with Ni(II) and Zn(II).
abstract: The dissociation and complex formation equilibria between Ni(II) and Zn(II) with 3-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-2-mercaptopropenoic acid, at 25 degrees in aqueous 0.1 and 1.0M sodium perchlorate solutions, containing about 1% ethanol, have been studied spectrophotometrically. The data were connected directly from the spectrophotometer to an IBM-PC via a serial interface, using the DUMOD program (written in BASIC), described in the paper. The obtained spectra were treated by the factor analysis program NIPALS in order to determine the number of absorbing species and the experimental error. Dissociation constants of ligand (H(3)L), and formation constants for the complexes Ni(HL), Ni(HL)(2), Zn(HL) and Zn(HL)(2) at 0.1 and 1.0M ionic strengths, refined by the SQUAD program, are reported.
