Metal Ion Endpoints in Complexometric Titration

Complexometric titration tracks metal ions by forming a complex with one or more ligands. In this method, the metal ion reacts with the added ligand to produce a metal-ligand complex. The result is used in analytical chemistry to help identify the endpoint of the titration.

Complexometric titrations involve reactions of ligands with suitable metal ions to generate metal–ligand complexes.

The titration is often performed using a visual indicator, which first forms a relatively weak metal–indicator complex that gives the solution an initial color.

As the titration approaches the equivalence point, all f...
