Abstract Protonation constants and Mg 2+ , Ca 2+ , Pb 2+ , Mn 2+ -, Co 2+ , Ni 2+ , Cu 2+ , Zn 2+  and Cd 2+ glycine complex formation constants have been determined in different aqueous media at different temperatures. Salt effects are explained by a complex formation model which takes into account the formation of weak species. From the temperature dependence of the formation constants, thermodynamic parameters ΔH θ (and in some cases ΔC θ p ) have been obtained. A rigorous analysis of literature data, together with experimental findings, allows recommended formation parameters, in the ranges 0 ≤ I e ≤ 1 mol l −1 ( I e is the effective ionic strength) and 5°C ≤ T ≤ 45°C, to be obt…
