The interaction of Zn2+, Mn2+, Hg2+, and Cd2+ ions with 3,5-dinitrosalicylic acid was investigated by potentiometric titrations in aqueous 0.1 M KNO3 medium. In all cases the formation of 1:1 complex was indicated. The stability constants in the pH ranges 4.5–8.0, 4.5–8.0, 5.0–8.0, and 5.5–8.0 were determined by applying the Calvin and Melchior's extension of Bjerrum's method and the log K values were found to be 3.70, 2.95, 3.20, and 2.85, respectively. A comparative study of the complexes of 3,5-dinitrosalicylic acid with other bivalent metal ions has also been incorporated. The stability constants of the transition metal complexes obey the order Cu > Ni > Co > Zn > Mn, in agreement with Irving and William's rule.
