title: Potentiometric determination of the dissociation constants of an asymmetric sorbent containing l-proline, and the stability constants of its Cu(II) complexes.
abstract: The dissociation constants of the carboxyl groups (pK(a1) = 2.2, n = 1.8) and amino groups (pK(a2) = 9.5, n(2) = 1.6) of a sorbent prepared by reacting l-proline with a cross-linked chloromethylated styrene polymer have been determined by potentiometric titration. The potentiometrically measured stability constants of the Cu(II) complexes of the resin (logbeta(1) = 6.9 and log beta(2) = 12.4) were found to be close to the values for the Cu(II) complexes of N-benzyl-l-proline. For complexed resins of alpha-amino-acid type the pH-values of decomplexation do not appear to be directly correlated with the stability constants.
