Determination of the protonation constants of gadolinium(III) diethyltriaminepentaacetic acid by solvent extraction and ICP-AES

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

The first and second protonation constant (logβ111, logβ121) of the metal-ligand complex Gadolinium(III)-diethyltriamine-pentaacetic acid (DTPA) have been determined to be 2.27 and 1.52 at 25°C and I = 0.1. A technique in which the three complexes (H2Gd-DTPA, HGd-DTPA-1, Gd-DTPA-2) are separated according to their relative polarity is utilized. An inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometer (ICP-AES) is used to determine the relative concentrations of each species by monitoring the gadolinium concentration.
