Abstract
The stability constant for the complexes formed by Yb (III) with dithiocarbamic acid has been investigated. The effects of temperature and standard thermodynamic functions on the complexation have been studied. The decrease in standard change in enthalpy and effect of temperature indicate that lower temperature favours the formation stable complexes. The reduction of Ln (III) metal ion with dithiocarbamic acid has been investigated.
