Thermodynamic study of the complexation processes between 6,7-dihydro-3(H)-6-methyl-5-methoxy-7-oxo-vic-triazolo (4,5-d) pyrimidine and Cu(II), Zn(II), Cd(II) and Hg(II)

Abstract The compound 6,7-dihydro-3( H )-6-methyl-5-methoxy-7-oxo-vic-triazolo (4,5- d ) pyrimidine (LH) has been characterized by IR, 1 H-NMR and UV-visible spectroscopy. Furthermore, its acid behaviour in aqueous solutions at variable temperatures and ionic strengths have been studied. The stability constants of the complexes formed by LH with Cu(II), Zn(II), Cd(II) and Hg(II) metal ions at different ionic strengths and temperatures have been calculated by the method of Chabereck and Martell. From these data, the thermodynamic functions for the corresponding complexation processes have been obtained.
