Complexes of d10 ions with amides and amidines. Part II. Stability constants of silver(I) and cadmium(II) complexes with hydroxy-amidines

Abstract

The formation of silver(I) and cadmium(II) complexes with some α-hydroxy-amidines has been studied by pH titration methods. Complexes of the form AgL⁺, AgL₂⁺, AgL₂OH, CdL²⁺, and CdLOH⁺, where L represents an amidine base, have been detected. Formation constants are given for these species, and a further species CdL(OH)₂ has been detected at high pH by a polarographic study.
