EthyleneDiamineTetraAcetic acid

• A successful drug for iron excretion
13-1 Metal-Chelate Complexes
EDTA forms strong 1:1 complexes with most metal ionsAs a metal-binding agent: page 265 for examples
Metal-ATP complex
Useful chelating agents
13-2 EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, a hexadentate)
(1) The most widely used chelating agent in titration (2) Forms strong 1:1 complexes regardless of the charge on
the cation

(1) Multidentate chelating agents form stronger complexes (Kf ) with metal ions than bidentate or monodentate ligands.
(2) Neutral EDTA is a tetrabasic acid(3) Metal-EDTA complex is unstable at both low pH & hi
gh pH.• At low pH
– H+ & M n+
• At high pH– OH- & EDTA

– Pb2+ as example:• At pH 10, tartrate is present
to prevent Pb(OH)2
• Pb-tartrate complex must be less stable than Pb-EDTA
(4) Auxiliary complexing agents: prevent metal ions from precipitating.
13-3 Metal Ion Indicators
• Metal ion indicator: a compound whose color changes when it binds to a metal ion.
• For an useful indicator, it must bind metal less strongly than EDTA does. the indicator must release its metal to EDTA
• Example: MgIn + EDTA MgEDTA + In• Indicator is pH dependent.• If metal block the indicator, use back titration.

Demonstration 13-1 Metal Ion Indicator Color Changes
13-4 EDTA Titration Techniquesare useful for the determination of [metal]
• Direct titration– Titrate with EDTA– Buffered to an appropriate pH– Color distinct indicator– Auxiliary complexing agent
• Back titration– Excess EDTA, & titrate with metal ion– For analyte
• ppt in the absence of EDTA : – Ex: (Al3+-EDTA) at pH 7, indicator Calmagite) back titration wit
h Zn2+
• react slowly with EDTA • block the indicator
• Displacement titration– No satisfactory indicator– Ex1: Hg2+ + MgY2- HgY2- + Mg2+ Kf HgY2- > MgY2-
– Ex2: 2Ag+ + Ni(CN)42- 2Ag(CN)2 + Ni2+ , Ni2+ is titrated with EDTA
• Indirect titration– Determine [Anion] that precipitate metal ions: CO3
2-, CrO42- S2- SO4
2-
– Ex: SO42- + Ba2+ BaSO4(s) at pH 1
filter BaSO4(s) and boil with excess EDTA at pH 10 Ba(EDTA)2- and excess EDTA is back titration with Mg2+
• Masking– Masking prevents one element from interfering in the analysis of ano
ther element. Ex: Al3+ + Mg2+ + F- AlF63+ + Mg2+ then only Mg2+ can
be react with EDTA masking Al3+ with F- – Masking agent: CN- , F- (using with pH control to avoid HCN & HF)
In general, the metal-indicator complex should be 10 to 100 times less stable than the metal-titrant complex
Expt: The formation constants of the EDTA complexes of Ca2+ and Mg2+ are too close to differentiate between them in an EDTA titration, so they will titrate together. Ca2+ can actually be titrated in the presence of Mg2+ by raising the pH to 12 with strong alkali; Mg(OH)2 precipitates and does not titrate.
13-5 The pH-dependent Metal-EDTA Equilibrium
• Since the anion Y4- is the ligand species in complex formation, the complexation equilibria are affected markedly by the pH

Species EDTA as a function of pH
Conditional Formation ConstantConditional Formation Constant
• most of the EDTA is not Y4- below pH=pK6=10.37. The species HY3-, H2Y2-, and so on, predominate at lower pH.
• It is convenient to express the fraction of free EDTA in the form Y4-

The number Ktf =αγ
4-Kf is called the conditional formation constant or the effective formation constant.

(1) We can use K’f to calculate the equilibrium concentrations of the different species at a given pH.
(2) Kf : HgY-2> PbY-2> CaY-2; Kf不受 pH 值之影響, Kf’則受 pH 值之影
響,上述三者在 pH 值≦ 9.0 時, Kf’開始變小,也就是 EDTA 的滴定需
在 (pH > 9.0) 之鹼性溶液中進行
• Example at page 277• pH affects the titration of Ca2+ with EDTA
– Kf’ is smaller at lower pH.
13-6 EDTA Titration Curves
The end point break depends upon
1) [Mn+]
2) [L1]
3) [pH] selectivity
4) Kf
The smaller Kf, the more alkaline the solution must be to obtain a k’f of 106.
