Isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) and potentiometric titration (PT) methods were used to study the interactions of cobalt(II) and nickel(II) ions with buffer substances 2-(N-morpholino)ethanesulfonic acid (Mes), dimethylarsenic acid (Caco), and piperazine-N,N-bis(2-ethanesulfonic acid) (Pipes). Based on the results of PT data, the stability constants were calculated for the metal–buffer complexes (T?=?298.15?K, ionic strength I?=?100?mM NaClO4). Furthermore, calorimetric measurements (ITC) were run in 100?mM Mes, Caco, and Pipes solutions with pH 6, at 298.15?K. The enthalpies (ΔH) of the metal–buffer complexation reactions were calculated indirectly by displacement titration using nitrilotriacetic acid (H3NTA) as a strong-binding, competitive ligand. Finally, to verify obtained results, the number of protons released by H3NTA due to complexation of the cobalt(II) and nickel(II) ions was determined from calorimetric data and compared with results of calculations.
