3.9.9 Stability constants in aqueous solutions

Extensive compilations of stability constant data K_n (or pK_n = −log K_n) of step-wise, complex ion equilibria, involving ligand L and metal M, including (sometimes as well as) hydrogen, of the form

are available and it is not realistic to make a restricted selection here but instead to cite the compilations where values may be found.
