We describe a new high-throughput automated pK workflow using potentiometry starting with 10 mM DMSO stock (solution pH-metric). Two approaches using either neat DMSO stock solution or removal of DMSO were evaluated with different sample amounts and cosolvent schemes. These were validated against traditional potentiometric measurements for optimal conditions. Further, we detail how high throughput solution pH-metric experiments are performed in tandem with established UV-metric measurements to capitalize on the advantages of both approaches. This new workflow maintains the sample and time savings required for measuring a large number of samples in a drug discovery setting, while avoiding "missing pKs" due to lack of sufficient UV chromophores. The combination of the two assays is key to tackle the challenges of low solubility, overlapping pKs, and preliminary assignment of pKs for Structure-Activity Relationship (SAR) understanding.

In the present study, the complexing properties of ceftazidime with Fe(III) ions in aqueous solutions were characterized by UV-vis spectrophotometric and potentiometric methods. Using the UV-vis spectrophotometric method, the absorbance values for Fe(III) ions, a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic (ceftazidime), and the Fe(III)-ceftazidime system were determined. Based on pH-metric studies, the value of the stability constant for the Fe(III)-ceftazidime complex was calculated.

Five new heteroligand cobalt(II) complexes with 2-picolinehydroxamic acid and reduced Schiff base, -(2-hydroxybenzyl)alanine, were formed in an aqueous solution over a wide pH range. The coordination properties of ligands towards the metal ion were determined using a pH-metric method, and then the speciation model was confirmed by UV-Vis studies. A stacking interaction between the Schiff base phenol ring and the 2-picolinehydroxamic acid pyridine ring was found to improve the stability of the heteroligand species, indicating more effective coordination in mixed-ligand complexes than in their respective binary systems.

The seawater pH measurement is usually quite complicated because that matrix is characterized by a high ionic strength leading to calibration errors if NIST standards are used. For this matrix, different pH scales like the "total hydrogen ion concentration scale" (TOT) and the "seawater scale" (SWS), are defined, and suitable synthetic seawater solutions must be prepared according to standard procedures to calibrate the glass electrode. This work provides a new approach to make seawater pH measurements by using the glass electrode calibrated with the NIST standards (pH) converting the pH into the right TOT or SWS scales by using empirical equations derived from theoretical thermodynamic data: pH=pH+0.
