Abstract

The synthesis and characterization of zinc(II), cadmium(II), lead(II), mercury(II) and phenylmercury(II) complexes of 4-amino-6-hydroxy-2-mercapto pyrimidine (AHMP) are reported. The stoichiometry of the complexes was found to be 1:2 except for the phenylmercury(II) complex where the ratio is 1:1. Characterization of these complexes was carried out by means of elemental analyses, IR and ¹H NMR measurements. In these complexes the ligand is bonded to the metal through its sulfur atom. The potentiometric results showed the formation of 1:1 and 1:2 complexes and the corresponding stability constants were determined for both Zn(II) and Cd(II) ions. The high insolubility of mercury(II), phenylmercury(II) and lead(II) complexes prevented the determination of their stability constants. The concentration distribution of the complexes in solution was evaluated. The effect of temperature on the dissociation constant of AHMP and the formation constants of both the Zn-AHMP and Cd-AHMP complexes were studied and the thermodynamic parameters were calculated.
