Potentiometric determination of stepwise stability constants of zirconium, thorium and uranium chelates of asparagine and glutamine.
The metal chelates of Zr(IV), Th(IV) and U(VI) with asparagine and glutamine have been studied potentiometrically. Stepwise stability constants in 0.1 M sodium perchlorate at 25 degrees are as follows. Asparaginate chelates-log K(1) 8.80, log K(2) 6.25 for Zr, log K(1) 6.79, log K(2) 6.16 for U, log K(1) 8.28, log K(2) 7.77 and log K(3) 7.72 for Th. Glutaminate chelates-log K(1) 8.75, log K(2) 6.10 for Zr, log K(1) 6.63, log K(2) 6.22 for U, log K(1) 8.30, log K(2) 7.61 and log K(3) 7.55 for Th.
