POTENTIOMETRIC AND SPECTROSCOPIC DETERMINATION OF ACID DISSOCIATION-CONSTANTS OF SOME PHENOLS AND SALICYLIC ACIDS

The dissociation constant of the catechol derivatives 4-nitrocatechol (NCAT), 2,3-dihydroxybenzoic acid (2,3-DHBA), 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic aci d (3,4-DBHA), 3,4-dihydroxyhenylacetic acid (3,4-DPHA) and 3,4-dihydro xycinnamic acid (3,4-DHCA) were identified in 0.1M NaClO4 ionic medium , at t=25 degrees C, by potentiometry. In addition, the first and seco nd dissociation constants of the salicylic acid derivatives 5-nitrosal icylic acid (5-NSA), 4-hydroxysalicylic acid (4-HSA) 5-nitrosalicylic acid (5-HSA) were also determined by potentiometry. Furthermore, the s econd acid dissociation constants of these ligands were evaluated in I =0.1M NaClO4 ionic medium, at a temperature of 25 degrees C by compute r analysis of spectroscopic data.
