The possible formation of ternary complexes via simultaneous mechanisms has been confirmed by comparison with constructed theoretical curves. The stability of each ternary complexes was also investigated and compared with those of the corresponding binary complexes in terms of the ∆ log K parameter. In addition, the concentration distribution of the complexes formed in solution was evaluated.
