Abstract
The complexation of Cr (III) by EDTA, HEDTA and DCTA is channelled through ion pair formation between Cr (III) and the ambient ligand species. The ion pair further undergoes deprotonation giving rise to hydroxo chromium2+ species in the immediate vicinity of the counter ligand anion which helps in achieving the first coordination linkage between Cr(III) and the ligand.
In addition to providing adequate buffer capacity, the excess ligand buffer catalyses the deprotonation rate by offering itself as a base towards the acidic ion pair.
