Abstract

The acid-base and complex-formation equilibria involving glucosamine and its complexes with alkyltin(IV) chlorides have been studied by potentiometric technique. The results prove to a formation of 1 : 1 complex with trialkyltin(IV) and both 1 : 1 and 1 : 2 complexes with dialkyltin(IV) species. The stability constants in water were determined, the effects of temperature (from 15 to 35 °C) and ethanol (up to 88 vol.%) was studied and the speciation of the complexes was resolved.

Keywords: Alkyltin(IV) chlorides; Alkyltin(IV) complexes; Glucosamine; Stability constants.
