Stability constants of nickel(II)-nicotinamide complexes in aqueous-ethanol solutions

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

The change in stability of 1: 1 and 1: 2 nicotinamide nickel(II) complexes in an aqueous ethanol with ethanol contents of 0 to 0.85 molar fractions is studied via potentiometry at 298.2 ± 0.1 K and a ionic strength of 0.25 (NaClO 4 ). The constant of complex formation for the first step increases at concentrations of organic solvent lower than 0.5 molar fractions and decreases at a higher content of ethanol. The weakening of the solvation of the donor center in nicotinamide corresponds to the observed change in the stability of the complex. A linear interrelation between the change in the coordination equilibrium constant and the difference between the effect of solvent composition on the solvation of the complex ions and complexing agent is revealed.
