Speciation Study on the Interaction of Some Divalent Transition Metal Ions with Succinic acid Dihydrazide in Aqueous Medium

The interaction of succinic acid dihydrazide with Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) was investigated in aqueous medium at 303K and ionic strength of 0.1 mol dm–3. The speciation and stability constants of the metal complexes formed were determined by pH-metric method. Mononuclear and homo binuclear species in different protonation and deprotonation states were identified, the corresponding formation constants calculated using MINIQUAD-75 computer program, and species distribution diagrams produced using the HYSS computer program. Selection of the best-fit chemical models was based on statistical parameters.
