Energetics, thermodynamic properties and equilibrium constants of deprotonation and complexation processes of both compounds in the presence and absence of chloride and hydroxide ions were computed at the B3LYP/6-31G(d) level with ZPVE corrections. Both complex systems with chloride ion, the [LH2·Cl]-and [LH2·Cl2]2-species show high stabilities and for the system with hydroxide ion, the hydrated-forms as [L(H2O)]2-and [L(H2O)2]2-species are dominant species. © 2006 Elsevier B.V.
