Complexation of benzoate ligand with the divalent $d^10$ acceptors at different temperatures

Complexation of benzoate ligand with the divalent $d^10$ acceptors at different temperatures

The complex formation between zinc(II), cadmium(II), mercury(II) and benzoate ions was studied potentiometrically with glass electrode at different temperatures. The measurements have been performed in a perchlorate medium of the unit ionic strength at 25, 30, 35 and 40°C. The stability constants of the complexes were found in the order of increasing softness i.e. Zn(II) < -Cd(II)
