Abstract:
The complexation reactions between Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), Cd(II) and Pb(II) ions and benzo-15-crown-5, dicyclohexyl-18-crown-6, dibenzo-18-crown-6 and 1,10-diaza-18-crown-6 have been studied in dimethylsulphoxide solution at 25 degrees by means of a competitive spectrophotometric method using murexide as a metallochromic indicator. With the exception of Pb(II)(benzo-15-croqn-5)(2) the stoichiometry of the resulting complexes was found to be 1:1. The formation constants of the complexes were determined, and found to follow the Irving-Williams rule for the cations of the first transition series. It was found that the metal ion-18-crown interactions are strongly dependent on the nature of the substituents on the ring.

Complexometric Titration: Overview
Colors and Magnetism
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human eye.
Effects of EDTA on End-Point Detection Methods
In the visual method, metal-ion indicators (metallochromic dyes), which have distinct colors in their free and complex forms, are added to the mixture to signal the titration's end point. They form stable complexes with metal ions, but these complexes are weaker than the corresponding metal–EDTA complexes. As a result, EDTA...
