Stability constants for the ligand 1,7-diaza-4,10,13-trioxacyclopentadecane-N,N'-diacetic acid (dapda or K21DA) with the lanthanides and several other metal ions have been determined at 25 /sup 0/C in aqueous 0.1 M (CH/sub 3/)/sub 4/NCl medium by a potentiometric method. The results obtained are compared to those obtained for a similar ligand of large cavity size, 1,20-diaza-4,7,13,16-tetraoxacyclooctadecane-N,N'-diacetic acid (dacda or K22DA), which has been previously studied and reported. The stability of dapda is found to reach a peak at Eu(III) with the lanthanide series and is rationalized in terms of the matching of the ligand properties with metal ion characteristics. The transition-metal ions Ni(II), Cu(II), and Zn(II) all form stronger dapda (as compared to dacda) complexes due to a better match of the ligand cavity size and metal ion radius. 18 references, 3 figures, 1 table.
