Abstract:
This research demonstrated and analyzed the complexation capabilities of the dipodal chelator N1,N3-bis(2-((E)-2,3,4-trihydroxybenzylidene)amino)ethyl)malonamide (MEP) with heavy metal ions, viz., Al3+, Fe3+, and Cr3+, by engaging potentiometric and spectrophotometric methods. The whole experiment was carried out in a pH-dependent manner in a highly aqueous medium with a pH range of 2 to 11. The potentiometric and spectrophotometric results suggest the highest binding affinity of the chelator MEP with Al3+ metal ions among all three metal ions under study, with a stability constant value of log β = 27.13.
