The partial stability constants of the mixed complexes, Ln(III)-DCTA-L (where DCTA is trans-1,2-diaminocyclohexanetetraacetic acid and L, consecutively, OH−, glycine and iminodiacetate) have been determined potentiometrically at 25°C and at the ionic strength of 1 (KCl). It has been concluded that in the 1∶1 chelates, [(H2O)xLn(DCTA)]−, the number of water molecules decreases from 3 in the La−Sm range to 2 in the Dy−Lu one. The coordination numbers of the mixed complexes studied are discussed on the basis of the theory of the double-double effect. An explanation for the extrastability of the Ln(DCTA) chelates is given.
