(Received 12 December 1974. Accepted 29 December 1974) Summary-The rate of the ligand substitution reaction of copper (II)-PAN (CUR) with EDTA (Y) has been determined spectrophotometrically m 5% v/v dioxan over the pH range 5G6.3 at p = 0.1 (NaClO,) and at 25”. In the absence of l,lO-phenanthroline the rate law is expressed as -d[CuR+]/ dt = lo3 ’ [CUR’] Ty’], and the release of PAN from the reaction intermediate CuRY is the ratedeterminmg step. In the presence of l,lO-phenanthroline (X), however, copper forms a stable mixedligand complex (CuRX+), and the rate of substitution with EDTA is expressed as -d[CuRX+]/dt = (lo6 2[H’] + 10“ *[Xl) [CuRX+]. The release of PAN from the mixed-ligand complex by H+ and X ISpossibly the rate-determining step, with the copper-phenanthroline complexes produced undergoing fast exchange with EDTA. The stability constant of CuRX+ has been determined spectrophotometritally in 5% v/v dioxan at p = 0.1, and at 25” as [CuRX+]/[Cu’+] [R-l [X] = 1021’2.The acceleration of the rate of substitution of copper (IIbPAN chelate may be explained by the fact that the Cu-PAN bond in the distorted octahedral mixed-ligand complex CuRX is weaker than in the reaction interme-

diate CuRY. In chelatometric titrations with metallochromic indicators, the colour change at the equivalence point occurs by the substitution of the titrant for the .indicator in the metal-indicator complex. For a sharp end-point the rate of substitution, as well as the equilibrium condition is extremely important. Some studies of the kinetics of ligand substitution reactions of metal-indicator chelates with EDTA have been reported.Ie3 In our previous paper4 it was found that l,lOphenanthroline accelerates the rate of colour change of 1-(2-pyridylazo)-2-naphthol (PAN) in the copper(IIFEDTA titration, by forming the mixed-ligand complex Cu-PAN-phenanthroline near the equivalence point. In the present paper the rate of substitution reaction of Cu-PAN and Cu-PAN-phen with EDTA have been studied, and the mechanism of the colour change of PAN at the equivalence point is discussed. EXPERIMENTAL. Reagents Copper solution. Metallic copper (99.99% purity) was dissolved in nitric acid and the solution was diluted suitably. PAN solution. 1-(2-Pyrldylazo)-2-naphthol was purified by vacuum sublimation and dissolved in dioxan. EDTA. EDTA solution was standardized against a standard copper solution. with 4-(2-thiazolylazo) resorcinol as indicator. IJO-Phenanchrolme solution in dloxan. Sodium perchlorate solution. Prepared by dissolution of sodium carbonate in perchloric acid.

* Part I: see reference 4.

Dioxan. Commercial reagent-grade dioxan was purified by distillation after treatment with potassium iodide and sulphuric acid and refluxing with sodium for more than 20 hr. Apparatus

A Hitachi Rapid Scan Spectrophotometer type RSP-2, Hitachi Spectrophotometer type 124, Hirama Spectrophotometer type 6, and a Radiometer pH meter type PHM 26c were used. Procedure for the measurement of the rate of the substitution reaction In the absence of IJO-phenanthroline. The solutions A and B were mixed, and the absorbance at 550 nm was recorded as a function of the reaction time. The dead time of mixing was about 20 msec. Solution A: Cu = 1.01 x 10m5M; PAN = lGl&3.02 x 10-‘M; MES buffer solution4 = 0.02M, pH 5.0-6.3; dioxan = 5% v/v; ionic strength 0.1 (NaClOd. Solution B: EDTA = 1.24-3.72 x 10e4M; MES buffer solution =

002M, pH 5Q-6.3; dioxan = 5% v/v; ionic strength: 0.1 (NaClO,).

In the presence of IJO-phenanthroline. l,lO-Phenanthroline (1.04-2.52 x 10e5M) was added to solution A, and the absorbance at 545 nm was measured (in the pH range 5.8-6.5) as a function of the reaction time.

The experiments were carried out under the conditions where Cu = 2.74 x 10°bM, PAN = 2.02 x IO-‘M, I,lO-phenanthroline = 5.00 x 10-5-4Q0 x lo-‘MM, at pH 9.22-11.28, p = 0.1 (KNOJ, and dioxan = 5% v/v. A plot of log &c&) vs. log[X] gave a straight line with a slope of 1. Therefore, in the concentration range of l,lO-phenanthroline between 10m4 and lo-‘M one molecule of l,lO-phenanthroline co-ordinates with the Cu-PAN chelate. The formation constant of the mixed-ligand complex was obtained from the value of log&R,, at log[X] = 0:

The value for K& is from reference 5. Usually copper is titrated at pH 5-6 and the addition of a small amount of l,lO-phenanthroline, i.e. 10-5-10-6M, is enough to accelerate the rate of colour change of PAN at the equivalence point4

The rate-determining steps are the release of PAN from Cu-PAN-phen by attack by hydrogen ion or l,lO-phenanthroline. Then the Cu-phen complex produced undergoes the fast substitution with EDTA. Comparison of k, k, and k2 shows the rate of substitution of Cu-PAN-phen with EDTA is much faster than that of Cu-PAN. This is probably because copper-PAN bonds in the mixed-ligand complex are weaker than in the Cu-PAN-Y reaction intermediate because of Jahn-Teller distortions. This is suggested by the reduced stability of CuRX compared with CuR (with respect to loss of R): KuRXI = 1012.2 KR CuRX = [CuX] [R]
