The Calvin-Bjerrum titration technique for the determination of chelate formation constants has been applied to the Cu(II), Ni(II), Co(II), Zn(II) and Mn(II) chelates of 2- and 4-methyl-8-hydroxyquinoline. Measurements were made at several temperatures in order to evaluate ΔH and ΔS values of chelation. The results obtained were interpreted in terms of steric hindrance of the 2-methyl group. In all cases the heats of formation of the chelates of 2-methyl-8-hydroxyquinoline were remarkably more positive than those for the corresponding chelates of 4-methyl-8-hydroxyquinoline. This large difference in the strengths of the metal-chelate bonds is apparently due to the hindrance of the methyl groups which prevent the close grouping of the two reagent molecules around the metal in chelates of 2-methyl-8-hydroxyquinoline. The lower bond strength in chelates of 2-methyl-8-hydroxy-quinoline is partially compensated by a relatively larger entropy of formation. This is attributed to decreased solvent chelate interaction caused by the shielding of the polar O, N, and metal atoms by the 2-methyl groups. Finally, the determination of chelate formation constants of 2-phenyl-8-hydroxyqumoline has been carried out to further extend our study of steric effects in metal chelates.
