title: Uranyl complexes of alpha-carboxypolymethylenediaminetetra-acetic acids.
abstract: The uranyl complexes of N,N,N',N'-tetrakis(carboxymethyl)-2,3-diaminopropionic acid, N,N,N',N'-tetrakis(carboxymethyl)diaminobutyric acid, N,N,N',N'-tetrakis(carboxymethyl)ornithine and N,N,N',N'-tetrakiscarboxymethyl)lysine have been studied by potentiometry, with computer evaluation of the titration data by the MINIQUAD program. Stability constants of the 1:1 and 2:1 metal:ligand chelates have been determined as well as the hydrolysis and polymerization constants at 25 degrees in 0.1M potassium nitrate. Results are compared with those obtained for the uranyl complexes of the corresponding members of the series of the polymethylenediaminetetra-acetic acids.
