PRINCIPLE
INTRODUCTION The stability constants indicating the complex forma-
tion quantitatively have been determined by many investigators, and Martell and Sillen have reported these data systematically[l]. The stability constant is related to the free energy of reaction (AG). Because the free energy (AC) consists of enthalpy (AH) and entropy (AS), terms which frequently tend to compensate each other in dissociation processes[2], more complete information about the factors governing complex formation can be gained by determining these terms as well. These thermodynamic data have been reported for various polyamines[3], but for other types of ligands, especially those containing sulfur as donor atom, the data are sparse. The first stepwise stability constants of various metal 8-quinolinethiolato complexes ([M(qt)] ‘) have been determined spectrophotometrically~4] and potentiometricallyr5] in 50 V/V aJ aqueous dioxane. The thermodynak& parameters have also been determined calorimetricallvr61. The overall stabilitv constants and thermodyn&& parameters for the Xquinolinethiolato complexes of 1 : 2 of metal : ligand, however, have not been able to be measured because of insolubility even in 50 V/V 0/O aqueous dioxane. Accordingly, the present investigation was undertaken to determine those of 1: 2 complexes in dimethylsulfoxide. Data of the R-quinolinethiolato complexes obtained were compared to those of the I-quinolinolato complexes[6, 71, and were discussed using the conception of HSAB (Hard and Soft Acids and Bases). Effect of nonaqueous solvents on the logarithmic overall stability constants of bisl8-quinolinethiolato)zinc(II) complex was also shown. _ 347

EXPERIMENTAL Materials The sodium salt of S-quinolinethiol(Naqt) was prepared according to the literature[lO, 111. Various metal 8-quinolinethiolato complexes ( [M(qt)z]; M = Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd) were synthesized by the method of Sekido, Fujiwara, and Masuda[12]. The formation of Mn(I1) and Co(I1) complexes was accomplished by addition of Naqt to oxygen-free solutions contained M(ClO& (M = Mn, Co). The following procedures were adopted for the formation of -[Hg(qt),J. Mercurv~II) sulfate solution (1 mmol dm-‘. 100 cm I contain&g 1 moldm-’ hydr&chbric acid was heated to 65-75°C under nitrogen, and Naqt solution (10mmoldm-3, 50% excess) containing 1 moldmm3 hydrochloric acid was added. Then sodium hydroxide solution was carefully added to precipitate the complex. After ageing for about 10 mitt, Hg(I1) complex was collected and washed with 50 cm3 of hot water at 80°C. and then was recrystallized twice from chlo-
The polarograms were recorded by a Fuso polarograph model 312. A three-electrode cell equipped with an aqueous saturated calomel electrode (see) and a platinum-wire electrode was employed. A dropping mercury electrode (dme) with a flow rate of TEAP-DMSO sol0.808 mg s- ’ in 0.1 moldme utions was used. An see which was separated from nonaqueous solutions by a TEAP-methylcellulose salt bridge served as the reference electrode[13]. This electrolytic cell used was the same configuration as the one of Yamada et al.[l4] and had a volume of ca. 20 cm3. A Soar digital multimeter, MN-536, was used to measure the current and the potential precisely. Current--potential curves were recorded on a Riken Denshi X-Y recorder model F-43P. A mercury electrode[l5] with a geometric area of 2.3cm’ as the indicator electrode was used for the potentiometric measurement. Procedure
In order to determine the standard electrode potential of Hg’+/Hg in DMSO, measurements of the potential of Hg(C10,)2 over the concentration range in 0.1 mol dm- 3 TEAP10-4-10-3 moldm-” DMSO solutions were carried out. The normal pulse polarograms of Naqt over the concentration range 0.1 moldm-’ 5x10-5-10-3moldm-3 TEAP-DMSO solutions were korded for the determination of the overall stability constant of [Hg(qt),]. In order to determine the overall stability constants of [M(qt),] (M = Mn, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd), measurements of the potentials against see of the halfcell indicated Equation (6) were carried out. The dissolved oxygen was removed by bubbling purified nitrogen gas through the sample solutions. All the measurements were made at 25.0 * 0.1 “C unless otherwise stated.
RESULTS
AND DISCUSSION
In the polarographic measurements, Naqt in DMSO solutions was found to give a well-defined oxidation wave. The limiting current was proportional to the concentration of Naqt. The plot of log I/(1, - Q2 us E yielded satisfactory straight line with the slope of 31 mV. The half-wave potential shifted cathodically 30 mV per IO-fold increase in concentration. These results indicate that Equations (2) and (3) can be applied to the analysis of the oxidation wave of Naqt. The standard electrode potential of Hg*+/Hg, V us see, was obtained from the E",,'*,H,= +0.399 Nernst equation.

CM(qtLl (M = Mn, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd), log&+{, was determined by measuring the electrode potentla s of the half-cell indicated in Equation (6) under various concentration of metal ions. As an example, the result for [Zn(qt)2] is presented in Table 2. The decrease of the concentrations of [Hg(qt),] and [Zn(qt)J is attributed to the effect of dilution in the addition of metal ions. The logarithmic overall stability constants of another complexes could be determined as well. The values obtained are shown in Table 3 and Fig. I. For the sake of comparison, the logarithmic overall stability constants of the X-quinolinolato complexes ([M(qn)J>[7] are also given in Fig. 1. The stability sequence of Mn(II) to Zn(I1) 8-quinolinethiolato complexes as well as the Squinolinolato complexes was also in agreement with the Irving-Williams series: MnZn. The difference of the overall stability constants of [Mn(qt)*] and [Mn(qn),] was the smallest, whereas that of [Cu(qt),] and [Cu(qn),] was the largest compared with that of other complexes. The fact that the overall stability constants of the O-quinolinethiolato complexes are larger than those of the 8quinolinolato complexes reported Johnston and Freiser[7] may be attributed to the presence of donor n-bonds as a result of an increase in electron density on the sulfur atom and an increase of the positive charge on the nucleus of the central atom which promotes acceptance of the unshared electron pair of the nitrogen atom in the 8-quinolinethiolato complexes. The thermodynamic parameters of the complex formation obtained from the effect of temperature on

Enthalpies of Mn(I1) to Zn(I1) complexes reflected to the overall stability constants, whereas entropies of these complexes were almost the same values.

Zn i Cd < Hg. This order agrees with the order of the softness of metal ions. This fact indicates that the increase in the softness of metal ions is favorable for the formation of the 8-quinotinethiolato complexes. The sequence of entropies of these complexes was reversed. Therefore, it may be considered that the order of the stability is reversed for Zn(II) and Cd(l1) complexes. GQuinolinethiol

The potentiometric measurement of the half-cell used zinc for M [see Equation (6)] and the polarographic measurement of Naqt were undertaken in the solvents: acetone (AC), propanediol-1,2-carbonate (PC), acetonitrile (An), ethanol (EtOH), methanol (MeOH), N&V-dimethylformamide (DMF), and dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO). The experimental data determined from Equation (8) are summarized in Table 5 together with the donor numbers (DN)[lX, 191, acceptor numbers (AN)[20] and dielectric constants (s) of the solvents. No correlation was found between the logarithmic overall stability constants of [Zn(qt)J and the dielectric constants of the solvents. Figure 4 shows the relationship between the logarithmic overall stability constants of [Zn(qt)J and the donor numbers of the solvents[ 1 S]. In a series of the solvents with similar acceptor numbers, the linear relationship existed. It is obvious that the solvent exerts a profound influence on the

The positive deviation from the straight line in the case of AC and the negative one in the case of EtOH and MeOtI are almost certainly due to different acceptor numbers from those of another solvents. The higher coordination bond of ligand with the complex formation and the smaller the donicity of solvent, the larger the stability of the compIex formed. The strength of coordination of ligand changes with acceptor strength of the solvent if the various side-effects of salvation can be neglected. When the ligand solvates with solvent having higher acceptor strength, the strength of the coordination of the solvent weakens.
