- Abstract
The understanding of the thermodynamic stability and speciation of metal complexes in solution requires access to their enthalpy and entropy of formation. In this work, we specifically focus our investigation on the complexation process of silver(I) ion in acetonitrile (AN) with substituted mono pyridines and cyclic monoamines. The aim of this study is to provide reliable thermodynamic data to obtain insights on metal complex formation, focusing on ligands donor properties and solvation effects. Carefully designed potentiometric and calorimetric experiments allowed to define the species present at different ligand/metal ratios and to obtain the complex formation constants and enthalpies. In general, the enthalpy terms associated with the complex formation are highly exothermic, while the entropy values are always unfavorable. The formation constants of AgLj species for the ligands investigated in AN are compared with those previously obtained in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and water. The trends in stability constants and enthalpy values are discussed in relation to the pKa data available in the different solvents. Higher pKa values correspond to greater ligand basicity and result in more stable and more enthalpy stabilized complexes.
