Abstract

We present the results of studies on the stability constants of Vanadium(III) complexes with the aminopolycarboxylic acids: nitrilodiaceticpropionic (NDAP, H3L), nitriloaceticdipropionic (NADP, H3L), and nitrilotripopionic (NTP, H3L) by potentiometric measurements in 3.0 mol·dm−3 KCl ionic medium at 25 °C. The data analysis performed with the LETAGROP computational program indicates the formation of mononuclear complexes of type: VH3L3+, VH2L2+, VHL+, VL, V(OH)L, V(OH)2L2−, and VL 3−2 . The observed order of stability is NDAP > NADP > NTP, due to the changes induced by the acetic propionic group decreasing the stability of the formed complexes. The generated species distribution diagrams are briefly discussed.
