Thermodynamics of Thorium(IV) complexes with N-methylethylenediamine-N,Nʹ,Nʹ-triacetate in aqueous solutions: Potentiometry and microcalorimetry
The thermodynamic parameters of the complexes of Th with N-methylethylenediamine-N,Nʹ,Nʹ-triacetic acid (MEDTA; denoted as H3L with three dissociable protons) were studied. Potentiometry and microcalorimetry were used to determine formation constants and enthalpies, respectively. Thermodynamic analy...

| description | The thermodynamic parameters of the complexes of Th with N-methylethylenediamine-N,Nʹ,Nʹ-triacetic acid (MEDTA; denoted as H3L with three dissociable protons) were studied. Potentiometry and microcalorimetry were used to determine formation constants and enthalpies, respectively. Thermodynamic analysis revealed two successively formed complexes, namely, ThL+ and ThL22− (L3− denotes the totally deprotonated MEDTA). Results indicated that both complexation reactions were exothermic and driven by entropic force. The first stepwise reaction (Th4+ + L3− = ThL+) was mainly driven by entropy with minimal effect on enthalpy change. The second stepwise reaction (ThL+ + L3− = ThL22−) was more exothermic and showed less entropic change than the first stepwise reaction. The strong chelation of MEDTA would inhibit the hydrolysis of Th4+ and increase solubility. |
