NOTES
Thermodynamic parameters for the clathrate of benzene in tris(naphthyl-2,3-dioxy)cyclotriphosphazatriene (First received 14 October 1970; in revised form 9 January 1971) WE w l s n to report thermodynamic data for another clathrate-type compound in the cyclophosphazene host system. Previous studies have shown the general nature of clathration in cyclophosphazene systems [1 ]. The stoichiometry and gross structure of the title clathrate has been established by X-ray diffraction studies [2]. The equilibrium which we have studied by measurement of the dissociation pressures of the clathrate is: ([CloHaO2]aPaN3) • 2C6H~,~ ~ ([CIoH602]aPaN3)ts) + 2CsH~a~ Kp = P~H8

Notes
parameters (when reduced to a per guest-mole basis) are quite similar to those which have been found for other cyclophosphazene systems with quite different guest molecules [ l b, c]. The preparation and purification of tris(naphthyl-2,3-dioxy)-cyclotriphosphazatriene and its benzene clathrate have been described[2]. Dissociation pressure measurements were carried out by the method used in previous work [l b]. Department of Chemistry University of South Florida Tampa, Florida 33620 U.S ,4 .

A spectrophotometric determination of the stability constants of the iron(IH)acetoacetanilide chelate (Received 5 November 1970) OF THE various organic ligands that have been investigated, acetylacetone and other fl-diketones have received major attention from the standpoint of preparation[l], adduct formation[2], formation constant [3] magnetic and spectral studies [4] during the last few years. The ability of these compounds to form stable metal chelates is due to the presence of keto-enol tautomerism which results in the formation of 6-membered chelate ring, e.g. with acetoacetanilide. CoHs-- NH-C----CH-C-CHz
CeHs-NH-C-CH-----C-CH3
The acid dissociation constant reported by Harries [5, 6] show that acetoacetanilide (AAA) is a weaker acid than acetylacetone. The composition and stability constant of the chelate formed by the interaction of Fe(III) and A A A in 50% alcoholic solution, and determination of Fe(III) have been reported spectrophotometrically [7, 8]. The present investigation deals with the determination of first stability constant of the complex formed between Fe(III) and A A A using spectrophotometric method, described previously by Anderson and Nickless [9] in 50% and 75% dioxane. EXPERIMENTAL A solution of Fe(III) was prepared from a sample of ferric chloride (BDH) and iron contents were estimated. A A A was obtained from Aldrich Chemicals Co. Inc. Milwaukee U.S.A. All other chemicals used were of BDH AnalaR quality. Spectra was recorded using Hitachi Perkin Elmer Model 139 1. (a). G. T. Morgan and H. W. Moss, J. chem. Soc. 78, 103 (1913); (b).
