The equilibria and dissociation kinetics of lanthanide and several transition-metal and Pb(II) complexes of some diaza crown ether carboxylic acids are studied. The ligands are K22MA (1,10-diaza-4,7,13,16-tetraoxacyclooctadecane-N-acetic acid), K22DP (1,10-diaza-4,7,13,16-tetraoxacyclooctadecane-N,N'-di-..beta..-propionic acid), and K22MP (1,10-diaza-4,7,13,16-tetraoxacyclooctadecane-N-..beta..-propionic acid). The protonation constants of these ligands are similar to those of the structural analogues and are in the range log K/sub 1/ = 8.80-9.01 and log K/sub 2/ = 7.26-8.16. The stability constants are all lower than that of their structural analogue K22DA (1,10-diaza-4,7,13,16-tetraoxacyclooctadecane-N,N'-diacetic acid) due to the reduction of the chelate effect or an unfavorable steric effect or both. The kinetic dissociation rates are all faster as compared to those of K22DA complexes. Acid-dependent (k/sub H/) and acid-independent (k/sub d/) rate constants are obtained by the measurement of rates at various pH values, and they correlate inversely with the values of stability constants. 15 references, 1 figure, 4 tables.
