Abstract

Desferrioxamine-Copper complex was investigated. The effect of pH and the ratio of desferrioxamine to copper were studied The apparent stability constants for complex formed at different pH values were determined .The effect of adding EDTA (desferrioxamine of 1%EDTA)on complex formation ratio and stability was studied The results showed an increase in absorbance and stability in case of EDTA addition and the chelation ratio (metal:chelate) also changed from 1:1 to 2:1.
