Mixed-ligands complexes of In(III) with Succinic acid and
Amino acids
The investigations on mixed-ligands complexes have been
stimulated due to their analytical applications. Mixed-ligands
complexes are formed in solutions containing metal ions with two or
more different ligands. Their formation as intermediates in ligand
displacement reactions as well as in metal ion and enzyme catalysed
reactions and their possible significance for various biological
processes1-10.
A number of reviews have appeared on the stability of mixed-
ligands complexes. The kinetics of ligand interactions, structures,
isomerism and analytical use of certain types of reactions11.
Sankar and Cruck12-13 isolated the mixed [Cu(II)-(Histidine)-
(Threonine)] complexes14 from human serium and they prepared
similar mixed complexes of Cu(II) ion with amino acid at the
Chapter-7 211
physiological pH. The mixed halide complex of Cd(II) and Pb(II) have
been reported by M. Zarigen15, Fridman16, et al. and S.C. Shrivastav17
et al.
Most of the earlier studies on mixed-ligands complexes are of
spectrophotometric measurements18-19. Some have involved
potentiometric measurements using metal ion or oxidation - reduction
electrodes20-28 while the other have made use of data obtained from pH
- titration curves29-39 and solubility measurements.
The mixed-ligands complexes of pyridine and ammonia with
Cd(II) ion have been studied by Nazarora at a glass electrode while
spectrophotometric measurements have been carried out of the Co(II)
complexes with pyridine and anions like chloride, cynate and
thiocynate etc. was done by J. Carbral40 et al. They also studied the
mixed-ligand-complexes of Co(II) with - picoline and anions like
chloride, cynate and thiocynate anions. The hydroxyhalide complexes
of Cd(II) have been reported by K.H.Gayer41 and R.M Hass, M.
Quintin42 and coworkers.
Schaap and McMaster extended the method of DeFord and
Hume for simple complexes to study mixed ligands complexes by
polarography. They applied their method to various mixed-ligands
system successfully and verified the versatility of the method.
Chapter-7 212
The mixed ligands-complex formation by Cd(II) ion with
oxalate ions and ethylenediamine has been studied from solubility
measurements by Fridman43 and coworkers while potentiometric
studies on some complexes are reported by Water44 et al. The Cd(II)-
oxalate-ethylenediamine system has been investigated by other
workers too.
Renu Kulshrestha, Nirupana Sengar and Mukhtar Singh45
studied the mixed-ligands complexes of In(III) with pyridine-
carboxylate ions and thiocycolate, formate ions polarographically. S.L.
Jain46 studied the mixed-ligand complaxes of In(III) with L-Glutamate-
Methionate and L-Glutamate-valinate/L-prolinate systems
Polarographically.
Schaap and McMaster's method has been used by many other
workers47-56 to calculate the formation constants of mixed-ligands
complexes. An attempt has been made to interpert the results on the
basis of statistical probabilities57, steric and electrostatic factors.
Mixed-ligands complexes of Rb and Cs metal salts of same
organic acids with quinaldinic acid N-oxide have been studied by D.
Prakash, A.K. Gupta, S. Kumar and A.K. Yadav58. The mixed-ligands
complexes of Rb and Cs metal salts of some organic acids with 1,10-

Birendra Kumar and A.K. Gupta60.
Sudesh Kumar Singh, C.P. Singh Chandel61 studied the stability
constants of Cd(II) complexes with amino acids and pthalate system.
Mahendra Kumar Verma and C.P. Singh Chandel62 studied the mixed
complexes of Cd(II) with citruline and some bicarboxylic acids. S.K.
Singh and C.P.S. Chandel63 studied on mixed-ligands complexes of
lead ion with some amino acids and phthalate at DME. The stability
constants of Cd(II) complexes with pyridine and some amino acids
(glycine and alanine) have been reported by Amit Verma. P.K.S.
Chauhan and R.K. Paliwal64 studied the mixed-ligands complexes of
alkali metal 5-hydroxy-1,4-nepthaquinone with oxygen donor ligands.
R. Chandra65 studied the mixed-ligand complexes of 2-hydroxy-1,4-
nepthaquinone with oxygen donor ligands. The mixed-ligands
complexes of alkaline earth metal, salts of some organic acids with
isonitroso-P-methylacetophenone have been investigated by S.R.
Prasad66. The mixed-ligands complexes of Terbium(III) and
Dyprosium(III) with aminopolycarboxylic acid and amino acids at
different ionic strength have been reported by A. Asthana and
K.Divedi67. D.K. Sharma and Arun Kumar Sinha68 studied the mixed-
ligands complexes of Pb(II) chelates of organic acids with Picolinic

acid and quinaldinic acid. The stability constants of ternary complexes
of uranyl with pyridoxine (vitamine B6) and bicarboxylic acids (malic,
malonic, tartaric and oxalic) have been determined by G. Sharma and
C.P.S. Chandel69. Mixed-ligands complexes of Rb and Cs metal salts
of some organic acids with picolinic acid have been reported by D.
Prakash, A.K. Gupta, R.N. Shukla and A.K. Yadav70 and mixed-
ligands complexes of some transition metal chelates of O-nitrophenol
acid and 8-hydroxy quinoline with quinalidinic acid have been
investigated by D. Prakash, N. Amir, B. Kumar and Eqbal71. Mixed-
ligands complexes of Cd(II) with -Citrulline and bicarboxlic acids
have been carried out polarographically at d.m.e. by M. Kumar and
C.P.S. Chandel72.
Many researchers73-81 have studied mixed-ligands complexes of
alkali metal. Salts of glycine, -alanine, alkaline earth metal chelates of
organic acid, Cu(II) with -picoline, glycolate and lactate and mixed-
ligands complexes of transition metals.
The literature survey reveals that there is insufficient study and
lack of data on the succinic acid, amino acids mixed complexes of
In(III). Moreover mixed-ligands complex of In(III) have not been take
upto a study at large. It has been considered worth while to undertake
the detailed study under constant temperature at 308K. To evaluate
Chapter-7 215
their formation constants by the method developed by W.B. Schaap
and D.L. McMasters has been made to interpret the results on the basis
of statistical probabilities.
Experimental Set-up
The test solutions were prepared in standard measuring flasks of
pyrex glass using conductivity water. The solutions contain 1.0 mM of
In(III) with varying concentration of strong ligands (serine, glycine,
leucine, isoleucine) and fixed concentration of weak ligand (succinic
acid). KNO3 of concentration 0.1M was used as supporting electrolyte
to maintain constant the ionic strength of the solution at 0.1M and
0.002% TritonX-100 was used as maxima suppressor.
A CL-362 polarographic analyser was used. Purified nitrogen
was streamed through the test solution for 10-15 minutes to remove the
dissolved oxygen. The current variation as a function of applied
potential was then plotted to obtain the polarogram. All reagents were
of A.R. grade. A.R. grade KNO3 was used as supporting electrolyte in
all systems of In(III) ion to maintain ionic strength 1.0 at constant
temperature 308K. The capillary of the polarograph is having the
following characteristics.
m = 4.62 mg/sec
t = 3 sec.
Chapter-7 216
RESULTS
The ligands choosen for study were serine, glycine, leucine,
isoleucine, succinic acid. The simple commplexes of In(III) with
serine, glycine, leucine, isoleucine, succinic acid were first investigated
and their overall formation constants were evaluated by DeFord and
Hume's method and verified by Mihailov's method from the cathodic
shift in half-wave potential as a function of ligand concentration.
The following combinations for mixed-ligands complexes of
In(III) were studied.

Chapter-7 218
In the case of each ligand, In(III) forms 1:3 highest complex
species. In all the case, the reduction of simple complexes was
diffusion controlled as revealed by straight line plots id vs h1/2eff and
indicates the reduction is quasi-reversible.
(a) The mixed-ligands complexes
In(III)-Succinic acid-serine system
The weaker ligand in this system is succinic acid and two
concentrations of the weaker ligand were kept constant. So as to get the
values of mixed stability constant11 and 12 using the relation.
B = 10 + 11[Y] + 12 [Y]2
The experiments were carried out at two fixed concentration of
succinic acid 0.04M and 0.2M. The displacing ligand was stronger
chelating serine whose concentration was varied to a wide range.
The In(III) ion with succinic acid and serine mixed complexes
reduced quasi-reversible at the dropping mercury electrode with the
involvement of three electrons. The ions reaching the d.m.e. were
solely due to diffusion. The above conclusions were drawn from the
slopes of the log plots of Ed.e. vs [log i/[id-i]] and constancy of id vs
h1/2eff.
Chapter-7 219
The first set of solutions containing 1.0 mM of In(III), 0.04M
fixed succinic acid and sufficient amount of KNO3 to maintain constant
ionic strength with maximum suppressor 0.002%. Triton X-100 were
polarographed at varying concentration of serine at 308K. The
polarogrpahic measurements and derived Fi0(X,Y) function are
recorded in Table 7.2.
In the second set of observations, all other conditions except the
concentration of succinic acid which was now 0.2M fixed, were the
same. The polarograms were again recorded at the same temperature
(308K). Polarographic measurements and derived Fi0 function values at
0.2 M concentration of succinic acid are recorded, Table 7.3.
A cathodic shift in half-wave potential is observed as a function
of serine concentration. The magnitude of the shift in half-wave
potential is greater in presence of succinic acid than obtained for the
simple of In(III)-Serine system. It indicates the formation of mixed-
ligands complex by serine and succinic acid with In(III).
The Schaap and McMaster's method was applied and Fi0
functions as described earlier were calculated from which the values of
A.B.C. and D were obtained by Leden's graphical extrapolation
method.
Chapter-7 220
The values of A,B,C and D at two fixed concentration of
succinic acid were obtained as shown Figs. 7.1 and 7.2 and are
recorded in Table 7.4.

0.2M 2.041 5.440 6.945 7.568According to theory discussed in chapter two, the following
equation are available to determine the formation constants of mixed
ligands complex.
B = 10 + 11[Y] + 12 [Y]2 (i)
C = 20 + 21[Y] (ii)
Equation (i) contains two unknowns. Since two sets of data are
available in Table 7.2 and 7.3 at 308K. Two equations with two
unknowns were simutaneously solved to give log 11 and log 12 for
1:1:1 and 1:1:2 mixed-ligands complexes, respectively. The formation
constant for the 1:2:1 mixed-ligands complex was computed from
equation (ii) and both in experimental values of 'C' give same values
for 21. These 11, 12 and 21 values are given in Table 7.5.
Chapter-7 221
As expected the value of D are found to concede, with that of
30, the observed value of log D and log 30 are in good agreement.
The overall formation constants of mixed [In(III)(ser)succinic
acid] complex at 308K temperature recorded in Table 7.5

[In(Serine)(Succinic acid)2]-2 log 12 6.7564
[In(Serine)2(Succinic acid)]-1 log 21 7.5985
The stability constant of mixed-ligand complex as calculated on
the basis of statistical probabilities of the formation of [In(X)(Y)],
[In(X)(Y)2]-2 and [In(X)2(Y)]-1 gave the values of log 11, log 12 and
log 21 to be equal to 6.6378, 6.7564 and 7.5985, respectively.
Calculate values of log 12 and log 21 are in close agreement with
those observed but the value of log 11 calculated and observed are not
in well agreement.
The numerical values are log K values for the step indicated in
the scheme-1 where K is the equilibrium constant for that step. The
equilibrium between various species formed in the ternary system have
Chapter-7 222
been shown in the scheme-I. The values of log K for binary system
have been taken from chapter II at 308K. It can be seen from scheme-I
that [In(suc.)]+1 can add to (Ser) more easily than [In(succ)2]+2 to add
(succ) and also that tendency of [In(succ)2]-1 to add (ser) is more than
to ad (succ.). In the same way [In(ser.)2]+1 has greater tendency to add
(succ) than to add (serine).likewise [In(ser)(succ)] can add (ser) more
easily than (succinic) as indicated by the values of equilibrium
constants. From these results it can be concluded that In(III) forms
stable mixed-ligands complexes as compared to single ligand in binary
system.
The schematic representation of all the complex species present
in the system and equilibria amongst them are shown in scheme-1.

Chapter-7 223
The tentative structures of these complexes are as follows:
(b) In(III)-Succinic acid-glycine system
The weaker ligand in this system is succinic acid and the two
fixed concentrations were 0.04M and 0.2M. The In(III) ion with
succinic acid and glycine mixed complexes reduce quasi-reversibly at
the dropping mercury electrode with the involvement of 3 electrons.
The ions reaching to the d.m.e. were solely due to diffusion. The above
conclusions were drawn from the slopes of the log plots of Ed.e. vs log
i/[id-i] and constancy of id vs h1/2eff.
Chapter-7 224
All the solutions containing fixed concentrations of In(III) and
0.04M of succinic acid and sufficient KNO3 to maintain constant the
ionic strength and varying concentration of glycine at 308K.
A cathodic shift in half-wave potential is observed as a function
of glycine concentration. The magnitude of the shift in half-wave
potential is greater in presence of glycine than obtained for simple
In(III)-succinc acid system. It indicates the formation of mixed-ligands
complex formation by glycine and succinic acid with In(III) ion. The
Schaap and McMaster Fi0 function as described earlier were calculated
from which the values of A, B, C and D were obtained by Leden's
graphical extrapolation method and are recorded in Table 7.6 and Fig.
7.3.
The experiment was carried out under identical conditions to
obtain the another set of polarographic measurements except the
concentration of succinic acid which was now kept constant at 0.2M.
The values of A, B, C and D at 0.2M fixed concentration of succinic
acid were obtained as shown in Fig. 7.4 and are recorded in Table 7.7.
The values of A, B, C, D at two fixed concentrations of succinic
acid are recorded in Table 7.8.

of the step indicated in the scheme-2.
Scheme-2 : In(III)-Succinic acid-glycine system 308K.
The tentative structures of these complexes are as follows:
Chapter-7 227
(c) In(III)-Succinic acid-Isoleucine system
The weaker ligand in this system is succinic acid and two fixed
concentration were 0.04M and 0.2M. The slopes of the plots Ed.e. vs log
i/(id-i) are indicating the quasi-reversible nature of reduction. The
direct proportionality of the diffusion current to square root of effective
height of mercury column clearly showed that the reduction involved
three electrons and entirely diffusion controlled. The half-wave
potential values shifted towards more negative direction with the
increases in concentration of isoleucine. It was also observed that the
cathodic shift in half-wave potential was greater in presence of
succinic acid than in their absence. This observation clearly establishes
for mixed-ligands complex formation by succinic acid and isoleucine
with In(III).
Chapter-7 228
All the solutions containing 1 mM In(III). 0.1M KNO3 as
supporting electrolyte, 0.04M fixed succinic acid and 0.002%. Triton
X-100 were polarographed at varying concentrations of isoleucine at
308K in first set of observation.
In the second set of observation, all conditions were the same
except the concentration of succinic acid which was now 0.2M fixed
the polarograms were again recorded at the same temperature 308K.
Polarographic measurements and derived Fi0 functions values at
two concentrations of succinic acid at 308K temperature are recorded
in Tables 7.10 and 7.11. The method of Schaap and McMaster yielded
the values of A, B, C and D which were obtained by graphical
extrapolation Fi0 function as shown in Figs. 7.5 and 7.6 at 308K.
The values of A, B, C and D are recorded at two fixed
concentrations of succinic acid and recorded in Table 7.12 at 308K.

Chapter-7 229
From the expression of B and C the values of 11, 12 and 21
were-calculated by Schaap and McMaster's method. These values
obtained are given in Table 7.13.

[In(Succ.)2(Isoleu.)]-2 log 12 4.9802
[In(Succ.)(Isoleu.)2]-1 log 21 5.0840
The numerical values in each step are log K values where K is
the equilibrium constant for each step indicated in the scheme-3. The
equilibria between various formed complex species in the ternary
system have been shown in scheme-3. The values of log K for binary
system have been taken from chapter II. It can be seen from the
scheme [In(succ)]+1 can add to (Isoleu) more easily than [In(isoleu)]+2
to add (succ) and also that tendency of [Ind(Succ)2]-1 to add (isoleu) is
more than to add (succ)-2. In the same way [In(Isoleucine)2]+1 has
Chapter-7 230
greater tendency to add (succ)-2 than to add (isoleu). Like wise
[In(Succ)(isoleu)] and (isoleu)-1 more easily than to add (succ)-2 as
indicated by the values of equilibrium constants. In the same way
[In(Isoleu)2(succ)]-1 add (isoleu)-1 more easily than to add (succ)-2.
From these results it can be concluded that In(III) forms more stable
complexes with mixed ligands as compared to single ligand binary
system.
The schematic representation of all the complex species present
in the system and the equilibria amongst them are shown in Scheme-3.

Chapter-7 231
The tentative structures of these complexes are as follows:
(d) In(III)-Succinic acid Leucine system
The reduction of In(III) in the presence of leucine and succinic
acid was found to be quasi-reversible involving three electrons and
diffusion controlled at 308K. The above conclusions were drawn from
the slope of the conventional log plots and straight line plots of id vs
h1/2eff.
Chapter-7 232
All the solutions contained In(III) ion concentration equal 1 mM,
0.04M succinic acid ion (fixed) and requisite amount of KNO3 to keep
the ionic strength constant at 1.0 and varying amount of leucine were
polarogrpahed. The polarographic measurements are recorded in Table 7.14.
In other set of measurements, all other conditions were same
except the fixed concentration of succinic acid was changed and a
fixed at 0.2M. The polarographic measurements of second set are
recorded in Table 7.15.
When leucine was added to the complexed (with succinic acid),
In(III) ion, a negative shift Er1/2 which was greater in presence of
succinic acid than in absence of it shows mixed-ligand complex
formation.
The Fi0 function were calculated and by the graphical
extrapolation method as derived by Laden (Figs. 7.7 and 7.8). The
values of A, B, C and D are recorded in Table 7.16.

The numerical values of log K, where K is equilibrium constant
of the steps indicated in the scheme-4.
On comparison of the tendencies of [(In(leu))]+2 and [In(suc)]+1
to add leucine, one finds that leucine has greater tendency to add to
[In(succ)]+1 than to [In(leu)]+2 showing thereby that mixed-ligand
complex formation is favoured. The tendency of [In(succ)(leu)] to add
leucine is more than to add succinic acid, which shows that leucine is
stronger ligand than succinic acid which is seen from other
observations and from the electronic structures of the two ligands.
Chapter-7 234
The stronger complexing tendency of [Leu] than of (suc) may
also be concluded from the equilibrium constants of several steps in the
Scheme-4.
The schematic representation of all the complex species present
in the system and equilibria amongst these are shown in scheme-4.
