Table 1. pKa Values of Monoacidic, Monobasic, and Dibasic Compounds Determined by the 96-Well UV Spectrophotometric Method.
The use of 2% v/v DMSO as cosolvent did not alter significantly the pKa value of the test compounds. Working temperature = 30 °C. All pKa were measured at constant ionic strength (I = 0.1 M) and concentration (C = 0.2 mM).
Analytical wavelengths are determined at the maximum and minimum absorption values in the spectral difference plot.
Experiments were repeated at least three times.
Standard deviation.
