Thermodynamic Parameters for the Formation of Pyrophosphate-protonated Polyamine Complexes

Abstract

This work reports thermodynamic parameters for the complex formation of pyrophosphate-protonated amines (ethylenediamine, diethylenetriamine, triethylenetetramine, tetraethylenepentamine and pentaethylenehexamine): as already found for log K, the TΔS° parameter also shows a linear dependence on the charges involved in the formation reaction.

7. Note that the equilibrium constants (and the ΔG° values reported in Table 1) for reaction (1) refer to the most probable reaction, as a function of protonation constant values of pyrophosphate and amines, whilst the formation parameters (Table 2) for i=n(maximum degree of amine protonation) often refer to a hypothetical reaction. Nevertheless, these last parameters are useful in recognising patterns and empirical relationships.
8. Correlation coefficients are: ΔG°, r= 0.9953, 0.9905 and 0.9274, and for TΔS°, r= 0.9914, 0.9819 and 0.9797, for j= 0, 1 and 2, respectively. On the basis of a student's t test these values are always highly significant.
