Treatment of Data
Acidity constants were calculated as protonation constants, Pi0, and used as concentration
quotients applicable to the particular medium in
which measurements were consistently made,
namely 0.1 M potassium nitrate solution. It is
worth calling attention to the fact that conventional thermodynamic acidity constants, particularly for citric acid, differ from these conditional
constants owing to the appreciable effect of multiple ionic charges on the activity coefficients.
The data from p H titrations (except those
which included simultaneous measurement of
copper-ion concentration in some cases) were
submitted to processing by the powerful computer program SCOGS (I), which finds best fit
values of acidity constants or metal-complex
stability constants. In using this, one postulates
a set of plausible species to describe the composition of the solution throughout the range of the
p H titration; tentative stability constants are
assigned to these, and the computer adjusts these
until a minimum is found in the standard deviation of titre (s.d.t.). The most probable of several
alternative sets of postulated constituents is that
yielding the smallest s.d.t., though it is wise to
recognize that this criterion cannot be regarded
as proof for the preferred selection of species.
The program will also reject a particular constituent by failing to give convergence in the refinement of a constant for it, so that the inappropriateness of certain species or groups of species
is thus signalled.

Within the p H range 1.5 to 2.5 iron(II1) will
react with sulfosalicylic acid (H2A) or with citric
acid (H,L), or will undergo some hydrolysis. The
sulfosalicylate complex under these conditions is
MA and has an intense purple color. In the
presence of citric and sulfosalicylic acids together the intensity of this purple color is diminished. Apart from a uniform reduction in absorbance the visible spectral characteristics of

equations to secure information on [MI and [L].
The solution of the necessary equations containing experimental quantities is less precise and
can also lead to a number of possible sets of p,
q, and r values (i.e., alternative sets of possible
complex species) which satisfy the data roughly
as well. It is undoubtedly for this reason that
somewhat different assignments of compositions
and stabilities have been made in the case of the
metal citrates by various investigators.

Discussion
A comparison of the results in Table 1 for
copper(I1) citrates with a selection of other published results shown in Table 2 reveals that the
values for MHL and MOHL are in reasonable
agreement with those obtained by other workers
who have postulated these species. The variety
of different assumptions apparent in Table 2
concerning which complexes are or are not
present illustrates the difficulty mentioned previously concerning interpretation of p H measurements. For instance, our data when fitted to
the complexes MHL, ML, and MOHL gave log
Pill = 9.1, log PI,, = 5.8, and log PI-,, =
1.6. But, taking into account the measured
values of [MI, we were led to replace ML by the
dimer and to assign the relatively high value of
log P,,, shown in Table I . This value is appreciably larger than those for the same species
proposed by Lefebvre (9) and by Rajan and
Martell (10).
The formation of a dimeric complex of copper(1I) is consistent with the e.s.r. spectra and
magnetic susceptibility measurements of Dunhill
et al. (20). These authors have deduced that in
solutions at low and high p H copper citrate
exists as a chelate monomer, whilst over an intermediate range of p H a dimeric species is
formed. This is qualitatively in agreement with
our findings, though these authors worked with
ranges of concentration very different from ours,
and did not evaluate any equilibrium constants;
they regarded their dimeric species as deprotonated, e.g., M,(OH),L2. This matter clearly requires further study.
