UV-VIS spectroscopic studies were also performed in order to confirm the complexes formation and the stability constants of Cu-citric acid system determined potentiometrically. The thermodynamic parameters, ΔG°, ΔH°, and ΔS° were reported for the complexes formation reactions. The enthalpy and entropy changes of all binary complexes are positive.enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessarticle10.1515/REVIC.2007.27.1.53
