Dissociation constants of carboxymethyloxysuccinic acid.
The dissociation constants of carboxymethyloxysuccinic acid (CMOS) have been measured at 25 degrees and an ionic strength of 0.1M in sodium perchlorate. The values found were: pK(1) = 2.52, pK(2) = 3.77 and pK(3) = 5.00. CMOS is thus seen to be rather stronger than its isomer citric acid.
