Ferric ion and gluconic acid form a series of complexes with increasing pH. The complexes havebeen studied by means of polarography, spectra, pH titration and potentiometry. The series consists of the following species (HGH4= gluconic acid; pK values for the acid ionizations are inserted between formula): HFeGHa" 1"" 1", 4.6 (two step), HFeGH, 4.0, FeGH-, 13.3, FeGH (OH)-. The equilibrium constant for the formation of FeGH-from ferric ion and gluconate ion is 3 X 10-6 and involves 3 protons, making the complex extremely stable at high pH. The true stability constant of the complex cannot be obtained until the second, third and fourth dissociation constants of gluconic acid are known. Structures are proposed which are compatible with the data. Although the treatment is approximate in some respects due to the simultaneous pres-ence of several iron species, this represents the first detailed study of this type of complex.The stability of the glucono-ferric complex has been suggested by Prescott, et al., 1 who claimedthat gluconic acid is more effective on a weight basis than ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid in any solu-tion withpH greater than 6. They further state that gluconic acid is effective as an iron sequestrant in caustic soda solutions up to 35%(12 M) concen-trations. More recently, Mehltretter, et al., 2 have compared the sequestering power of a number of sugar acids, andfound that gluconic acid is gener-ally superior to all others as an iron sequestrant ex-cept for sodium saccharate at very high pH. The glucono-ferric complex was precipitated as a double calcium salt by Traube, et al. 3 They proposed the formula [CsHvOiFeJCa, and on the basis of an ele-mental analysis for carbon, iron and calcium, they suggested that three hydrogen ions are displaced
