Some small stability constants were determined using a Cl- ion selecti
ve electrode. Two types of complexes were studied: a) metal ion - chlo
ride complexes (Mg2+, Ca2+, Zn2+), and b) protonated amine - chloride
complexes (diethylenetriamine, tetraethylenepentamine). Reliable resul
ts were obtained for all the systems considered. Comparisons were made
between our results and those reported in literature (metal complexes
), and with pH-metric formation constants (protonated amine complexes)
.
