The stability constants of ferric complexes with several substituted catechol (1,2-dihydroxybenzene) ligands in aqueous solutions of low ionic strength have been determined at 27/sup 0/C in the pH range 2 to 11. Enterobactin, the principal siderophore of enteric bacteria, is a tricatechol and, from the formation constants reported here, is estimated to have a formation constant with ferric ion which is greater than 10/sup 45/. The stepwise formation constants, K/sub n/, of the catechol ligands reported here are defined as (ML/sub n/)/(ML/sub n-1/)(L), in units of L mol/sup -1/, where (L) is the concentration of the deprotonated catechol ligand. The constants were determined from potentiometric and spectroscopic data and were refined on pH values by weighted least squares. Qualitative examination of electron spin resonance spectra of the systems indicated some oxidation of the ligand by ferric ions at pH values as high as 4. The ligands studied included catechol (cat) (log K/sub 1/ = 20.01, log K/sub 2/ = 14.69, log K/sub 3/ = 9.01); 4,5-dihydroxy-m-benzenedisulfonate (Tiron) (log K/sub 2/ = 15.12, log K/sub 3/ = 10.10); 4-nitrocatechol (ncat) (log K/sub 1/ = 17.08, log K/sub 2/ = 13.43, log K/sub 3/ = 9.51); 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (dhpa) (log K/sub 1/ = 20.1, log K/sub 2/ = 14.9, log K/sub 3/ = 9.0); and 2,3-dihydroxybenzoic acid (dhba) (log K/sub 1/ = 20.5). The acid dissociation constants, K/sub a/s, were determined also. For the catechol protons these follow: cat (pK/sub a/sub 1// = 9.22, pK/sub a/sub 2// = 13.0); Tiron (pK/sub a/sub 1// = 7.70, pK/sub a/sub 2// = 12.63); ncat (pK/sub a/sub 1// = 6.65, pK/sub a/sub 2// = 10.80); dhpa (pK/sub a/sub 1// = 9.49, pK/sub a/sub 2// = 13.7); and dhba (pK/sub a/sub 1// = 10.06, pK/sub a/sub 2// = 13.1). In addition, carboxylate substituents of dhpa and dhba have pK/sub a/s of 4.17 and 2.70, respectively.In solution, exchange is slow between these two types of coordination following changes in pH. 2 tables, 11 figures, 52 references.
