Thermodynamic considerations in co-ordination. Part XXIII. Formation constants for complexes of protons, zinc(II), and acid anions and their use in computer evaluation of a better zinc therapeutical

Abstract

Glass electrode potentiometric studies at 37 °C I= 150mM(NaClO₄), have been used to study a selection of ligand-zinc-proton systems. The formation constants for adding protons and zinc ions to the ligands are reported. Computer models of solution equilibria have been used to suggest the best ligands and concentrations for improved zinc therapy.
