The stability of some cyclic N,N-disubstituted dithiocarbamates has been studied by the analysis of the decomposition rates at different pH values. It is concluded that the most important factors which determine the relative stabilities of three cyclic dithiocarbamates (DTC) are the solvation of the DTC acid molecule and the ring strain associated with the substituents. This has been proven by a study of (a) the decomposition rates as a function of the dielectric constant of the medium, (b) order of the stability, and (c) activation energy.The molar absorptivities and the apparent acid dissociation constants have been determined for pyrrolidine-, piperidine-, and hexamethylene-dithiocarbamates.

The acid dissociation constants for alternariol monomethyl ether (AME), altertoxin-I (ATX-I), and alternariol (AOH), three of the Alternaria alternata genus mycotoxins, are estimated through conventional UV-VIS spectroscopic studies at different pH values. Experimental variations of absorbance as a function of pH at a given wavelength were fitted by using the exact equations that describe the systems studied. Good agreement between the experimental absorbance vs. pH plots and the curves generated by the fitting process was found. A comparison between the acidic constants for the first step of dissociation of these mycotoxins and the value for the acidic constant of phenol is discussed by assuming that phenolic structures are responsible for the acidity of these mycotoxins.Key words: mycotoxins, alternariol monomethyl ether, altertoxin-I, alternariol, acidic constants.

Speciation in the aqueous sodium(I) – ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and potassium(I) – ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid equilibrium systems was investigated by automated gravimetric potentiometric titration. It was found that in both cases, particularly below neutral pH values, speciation includes a previously uncharacterized diprotonated complex. All formation and acid dissociation constants were measured for the full systems. The validity of previous literature equilibrium constants, which are based on incomplete equilibrium models, is discussed.

The nature of the zirconium complexes of alizarin red S (1,2-dihydroxy- anthraquinone-3-sulphonate), alizarin (1,2-dihydroxyanthraquinone), and hystazarin (2,3-dihydroxyanthraquinone) were studied using spectrophotometric, kinetic, and voltammetric techniques. In HClO4- NaClO4, 75% methanol media, these compounds form 1 : 1 complexes with zirconium. The equilibrium constants, KC, for the reaction of zirconium with alizarin red S, alizarin, and hystazarin were found to be 2.8 x 105, 3.0 x 103, and 6.9 x 102, respectively, at 25� and μ = 1.0M. The concentration acid dissociation constants, pKca, for the dihydroxyanthraquinones in 75% methanol were determined as: alizarin red S 6.71 and 11.35; alizarin 7.31 and 11.84; hystazarin 7.57 and 11.40; at 25� and μ 1.0M. Zirconium reacts slowly with alizarin red S and alizarin, and mainly via the hydrolysed Zr(OH)22+ species, whereas the reaction with hystazarin is rapid. Rate constants were determined for the first two reactions. The zirconium-alizarin red S complex includes two coordinated hydroxyl groups, the alizarin complex one, and the hystazarin complex contains none. It is suggested that these coordinated hydroxyl groups hydrogen-bond to the sulphonate and/or quinone groups and enhance both the stability and colour of the zirconium complexes.
