Abstract

Knowing binding constants for the complexes Hg(II) forms with organic ligands is of special importance from therapeutic and environmental perspectives. In this work, in light of critical discussion of the current literature on stability constants of Hg(II) complexes, a quantitative structure-property relationship (QSPR) for predicting equilibrium constants of Hg(II) binding by small organic molecules has been developed and validated. The QSPR has a standard error of prediction (Spred) value of 1.60 log units and describes 96.5% of the variability in data.
