Abstract: The proton-ligand dissociation constants of some azosulfoxine derivatives and metal-ligand stability constants of their complexes with the metal ions (Mn2+, Co2+, Ni2+ and Cu2+) have been determined potentiometrically in 0.1 MKCl and 50 % (by volume) DMF–water mixture at (298, 308 and 318) K. The stability constants of the formed complexes increases in the order Mn2+, Co2+, Ni2+ and Cu2+. The effect of temperature was studied and the corresponding thermodynamic parameters (G,H and S) were derived and discussed. The dissociation process is non-spontaneous, endothermic and entropically unfavourable. The formation of the metal complexes has been found to be spontaneous, endothermic and entropically favourable.

Keywords: Azosulfoxines, potentiometry, stability constants and thermodynamics.
