The composition and equilibrium constants of iron(III) complexes with two bidentate ligands: dopamine (H 3 L + ) and 8-hydroxyquinoline-5-sulphonic acid (H 2 L), have been studied in aqueous solution (NaClO 4 μ = 1) at 25°C, with protometric and spectrophotometric methods. With dopamine, seven complexes have been obtained in the pH range 0.5–12.0. In addition to the three stepwise complexes Fe(HL) n and the three deprotonated forms of Fe(HL) 3 , an acidic species Fe(H 2 L) 3+ occurs in a large pH range (0–5). 8-hydroxyquinoline-5-sulphonic acid proves to be a very good chelating agent; up to pH = 7, it is better than dopamine and most catecholate ligands.
