Abstract:
The dissociation equilibria of di(2,4,4-trimethylpentyi) phosphinic acid, mono(2,4,4-trimethylpentyl) phosphinic acid, di(n-octyl)phosphinic acid and mono(n-octyl)phosphinic acid have been studied in ethanol-water mixtures by potentiometric titration at 25 degrees C. These data have been analysed both graphically numerically using the program LETAGROP-ZETA. The obtained pK(a) values have been correlated with the corresponding values in water, determined both indirectly by means of extraction measurements and by estimation using the suitable Hammett equation.
