Abstract:
The macrocyclic complexone 1-oxa-4,7,10-triazacyclododecane-N,N',N''-triacetic acid (cODTA) has been synthesized and its protona constants, stability constants of metal complexes and enthalpy changes for the formation of alkaline-earth complexes have been determined. Although it is not so powerful a complexing agent as the N-acetate derivative of the corresponding tetra-aza macrocycle, cDOTA, this is still one of the strongest complexones known, particularly towards the alkaline-earth metals. The complexes of the transition metals are also very stable and there is an inversion of the Irving-Williams order of stability for the complexes of cobalt and nickel.

The nitrous acid is unstable. Hence, it is formed in situ from a solution of sodium nitrite and cold aqueous acids such as hydrochloric or sulfuric acid. In an acidic solution, the –OH group of nitrous acid undergoes protonation to give oxonium ion, followed by water loss...
