CONSTANTS

These files contain the second set of corrections to 2nd metal constant error. New names are used with an embedded date. DO compare the results from the new and old files of constants to see where they may have affected your own calculations.

Here is the link to the latest contants which contain two files of constants in two formats:

Standard Set [most common chelators and metals] in TCM and CCM formats
Extended Set [additional metals often asked for] in TCM and CCM formats

I am now labeling the constants files starting with CMC for chelator-metal-constants and then the next 4 characters will say the month and year of release. Finally an "S" or "E" for which set. So the above mentioned constants will be CMC1002S.TCM, CMC1002S.CCM, CMC1002E.TCM and CMC1002E.CCM

ALL CONSTANTS ARE TAKEN FROM THE MOST RECENT VERSION OF THE NIST DATABASE AND THEN CORRECTED, IF POSSIBLE, TO FIT THE MAXC FORMAT

You can get a preview of the constants in a large table here

If you want specific metals and chelators in a file of constants and do not want to try and figure this out yourself, I will try and find the constants and construct the file for you [It will then be posted here for others as well]. Not all combinations are possible. A request for Cu1 came in recently, but there are no constants for Cu1 in the NIST database that I could find.

I have this program. It complements, but does not replace Martell & Smith..

I did some work on getting these into MAXC format.
