Abstract
General information about metal complex formation equilibria, the definition of the stability constants, and the calculation of the formation distribution of metal complexes are presented. Acid–base dissociation of the ligand species is also covered. Then, the procedure to determine the stability constants of metal complexe by means of potentiometric, spectroscopic, and calorimetric titrations, as well as the experimental attention, is explained. The physical meaning and interpretation of the simultaneously obtained thermodynamic parameters are also discussed.
