ABSTRACT
This study aimed to investigate the ion pair association values and association parameters of nano MnSO4 in water and methanol-water mixtures (20 % and 40 % methanol by mass percentage) at varying temperatures (298.15, 303.15, 308.15, and 313.15 K) using the conductometric technique. Additionally, the parameters for complex formation between nano MnSO4 and glycylglycine as a ligand were determined. The focus was on elucidating the thermodynamic formation parameters for the nano Mn2+-glycylglycine interaction, with particular emphasis on comparing the 1: 1 and 1: 2 (M: L) complexes to understand the complexation behavior more comprehensively. The results indicated that the complexation process was spontaneous, as evidenced by negative ΔGf (formation free energy change) values, which increased with temperature, highlighting the enhanced spontaneity of the process. The findings provide valuable insights into designing new materials and procedures by enhancing our understanding of the complexation behavior of nano MnSO4 with ligands like glycylglycine, thus contributing to advancements in various applications such as chemical synthesis, medicines, and environmental remediation. By elucidating the thermodynamic aspects of these interactions, the study aimed to provide valuable information that could be utilized in practical applications and further research endeavors.
