Egypt Manuscript received 9 August 1982, revised 24 December 1983, accepted 9 March 1984 The chelating behaviour of 2,2'-bipyridyl (bipy) and 2,2',2"-tripyridyl (tripy) have been studied with Ce4+, Pr3+ and Gd3+ spectrophotometrically at pH 1.5·11.0 and by conductometric titration and conductometric measurement. 2,2' -Bipyridyl and 2,2' ,2"- tripyridyl are recommended as suitable reagents for the spectrophotometric determination of Ce, Pr and Gd and form complexes of the types 2 : 1, 1 : 1, 1 : 2, 1 : 3 and 1 : 4 at variable pH. The order of increasing stability constant is Pr3+->Ce4->Gd3+-bipy> Pr3+->Ce4+->Gd3+,tripy ( 1: 1 ). The free energy changes (\(\bigtriangleup\)oG) of the complexes are determined.
