Abstract

We have developed instrumentation capable of measuring optical absorption spectra over a wavelength range of 200–1200 nm and a temperature range of 20–100°C. This fiber-optic based spectrometer generates data which allow the computation of metal-ligand equilibrium constants. Studies at five temperatures have been completed using praseodymium-diglycolate as a model system. Fundamental thermodynamic values (free energies, enthalpies, entropies) were obtained from the experimentally-determined stability constants.
