These studies are concerned with the analytical properties of anthranilic acid, substituted anthranilic acids, derivatives of anthranilic acid, and compounds similar to anthranilic acid. The data obtained should be useful in determing the factors which cause certain analytical organic reagents to be specific or selective ana in the development of analytical methods. The present A'ork is a study of the effects of substitution on the amino group of anthranilic acid. A number of N-substituted anthranilic acids were prepared and acidity constants of these compounds were determined, formation constants of the chelates formed with each of these compounds and a series of transition met;. Is were obtained. In addition to the determination of constants, precipitation and color reactions of these compounds were studied. 1 HISTORICAL The analytical uses of anthranilic acid have been reviewed by- Harris in his dissertation (l). he made a precipitation study which generally confirmed the earlier results found by Goto (2 ). Harris determined the acidity and formation constants of ring-substituted anthranilic acids (l, 3 , 4 ), including 5-sulfo anthranilic acid, 3 -methyl ■anthranilic acid, and 3 ,5-diiodo anthranilic acid. In addition he determined constants for anthranilic acid, li-methyl anthranilic acid, and il-pheriyl anthranilic acid (1,4). Harris prepared N,N' ethylene dianthranilic acid and found that it has constants and other properties which are quite different from anthranilic acid (5) Zhdanov, Tseitlin, and Yakubov (6) described direct amperometric titrations of copper, zinc, nickel, and cobalt using a solution of the sodium salt of anthranilic acid as the titrant. Cimemo.n and belser (7) studied the q u m t i tative broraination of anthranilic acid and gave an exact micro method for the determine tions of metals precipitated by anthranilic acid. Holmes end Crinr.in (o) studied an oxidation titration with nerchloretocerote a.is alr.o a colorj metric reaction as means of deter mining the anthranilic acin liber ted from metal aut.ranilc.tes dissolved in acid. Harris (l,3) and Zehner (9,10), studied 5-sulfo anthranilic acid. Zehner developed a spectrophotometric determination of iron usin. this reagent. Romero (ll) investigated the properties of several bromine and iodine-substituted anthranilic acids as gravimetric reagents. Salyer (12) used radiotracer techniques to measure the solu bilities of the cobalt precipitates of some of the reagents mentioned above. Datta and Banerjee (13) used N-(carboxymethyl)—anthranilic acid as a precipitant for tuorivmi. fi&ny of the properties of anthr nilic acid diacetic acid have been investigated by 3chw .roenbaeh (l4, 15, 16, 17). Fitch and 2 3 Russell (is) tested it as an eluent for rare earths. 2,2'Imino dibenzoic acid has been suggested as an oxidation reduction indicator (19, 20). The solvent medium used in our titration studies was 50 volume % dioxane-water, and it has also been used by many other workers in this field (21, 22, 23). J. K. Thompson and G. L. Wilson of Queen's University, Belfast, Ireland, presented a paper entitled "Metal-Organic Complexes of Analy tical Significance: Stabilities of Complexes of Bivalent Cations with Anthranilic Acid and Its Derivatives" at the XVth International Congress of Pure and Applied Chemistry at Lisbon, Portugal, during the week, September 9-16, 1956 (2 4 ). At the present time (February, 1957) no other details are available. Development of the equations used to calculate the formation constants. Bjerrum (2 5) originally developed the theoretical equations for simple complexes; however, the treatment is the same for chelate complexes. When a metal ion M can react with ligands R, and N is the maximum number of ligands which can become attached to 1*1, then the following stepwise equilibria exist. M + R ^ MR kx = /mR_7/Z"m_7 Z"\7 (i) MR + R £ MR2 k 2 = D^gJ/D^J DO (II) % _ 1 + R < kM - (III) The quantity n is by definition the average number of ligands bound per metal. n = D O + + n /mRmJ' --------------------------------------------------------------(XV) DO + D m J + Z*®2_7 + D ^ y J + Use of equations (i), (ll), and (ill) makes possible the elimination of the quantities DO, O D ^ O D ^ 7 from equation (IV). n = \ D O + Zkjk^IiO2 "* + Hk ^ . k j ^ X T 11 ----------------------- :---------------------- (v) 1 + ^ D O + ^ k ^ K j 2 •••• + kxk2 ••• k / X / In terms of experimentally measured quantities, n can oe written as n =Ca - / \ 7 (VI) is the total concentration of all metal species, and is the total concentration of all ligand species. C,„ and G' are calculated from the l'i J X 4 amounts of metal and of chelating compound known to be present in the solution. Is measured experimentally. Bjerrum discussed the statistical effects entering into successive complex formation. At first it might appear that the successive formation constants K^, etc., would be of equal size when the addition of a ligand to a metal ion does not change the ability of the metal ion to accept more ligands.
