Abstract

The complex species formed in aqueous solutions (25 °C, I=3.0 mol⋅dm−3 KCl ionic medium) between the V(III) cation and the ligands 6-methylpicolinic acid (MePic, HL), salicylic acid (H2Sal, H2L) and phthalic acid (H2Phtha, H2L) have been studied by potentiometric and spectrophotometric measurements. Application of the least-squares computer program LETAGROP to the experimental emf(H) data, taking into account the hydrolytic species and hydrolysis constants of V(III), indicates that under the employed experimental conditions the complexes [VL]2+, [V(OH)L]+, [V(OH)2L], [V(OH)3L], [VL2]+, [VL3] and [V2OL4] form in the vanadium(III)–MePic system. Were observed the complexes [VL]+, [VL2], [V(OH)L2]2− and [VL3]3− in the vanadium(III)–H2Sal system, and the species [VHL]2+, [VL]+, [V(OH)L], [VHL2], [VL2], [V(OH)L2]2−, [V(OH)2L2]3− and [VL3]3− in the vanadium(III)–H2Phtha system. The stability constants of these complexes were determined by potentiometric measurements, and spectrophotometric measurements were made in order to perform a qualitative characterization of the complexes formed in aqueous solution.
