Abstract
Complex formation equilibria in l-glutamic acid (H2Glu) and l-serine (HSer) +iron(III) ion systems have been studied by a combination of glass electrode potentiometric and visible spectrophotometric measurements in 0.5 mol dm–3 (Na)NO3 ionic medium at 25°C. In the concentration range 1.0≤[Fe3+]≤5.0; 3.0≤[Glu2−]≤30.0 mmol dm−3 ([Glu]/[Fe]=3:1 to 30:1) and pH between 1.5 and 4.5, iron(III) and glutamic acid form the Fe(Glu)−2, Fe(Glu)+, Fe(HGlu)2+, Fe(OH)Glu, Fe2(OH)2Glu2+, Fe(OH)Glu22− complexes: and several pure hydrolytic products. Iron(III) and l-serine, beside pure hydrolytic complexes of iron(III), form the Fe(HSer)3+, Fe(Ser)2+, Fe(OH)Ser+, Fe(OH)2- Ser0, Fe(OH)Ser2 and Fe2(OH)2(Ser)2+2 complexes, over a broad concentration range of serine to iron ([Ser]/[Fe]=5:1 to 500:1), from pH 1.5 to 4.0. The stability constants of the complexes are given and their formation mechanism is suggested. The possible structure of the complexes, in solution, is discussed.
