Summary.
The interaction of Ca(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), Pb(II), and La(III) ions with the antibiotics cephalexin, cefadroxil, cephaloridine, and cefoperazone as secondary ligands was investigated potentiometrically. The formation constants were determined for a ligand-to-metal ratio of 1:1 at 25°C and KNO3. The protonation constants of the complexes were evaluated for the system. The order of stability of the binary and ternary complexes were examined. It was found that glycine adds preferably [M(II)-cephalosporin] rather than to the aqueous complexes of M(II). In all cases 1:1:1 complexes were formed.
