The equilibria of a new Schiff base derived from 3,6-bis((aminoethyl)thio)pyridazine were studied spectrophotometrically with the aid of factor-analytical methods. Hard modeling program was used for determination of the acidity constants of the Schiff base in dimethylformamide (DMF)/water mixture (30:70 v/v). In this method acidity constant equations act as hard models and the score vectors obtained by decomposing of absorbance data matrix will be linear combinations of equilibrium concentrations of species that exist in the absorption matrix. Two rank annihilation factor analysis (TRAFA) was used as a standard method to investigate the accuracy of the method. The tautomerization constant, K(t), of the Schiff base solution in various DMF/water mixtures has also been determined using spectral variations of the Schiff base solutions in various volume ratios of water with the aid of evolving factor analysis (EFA) and multivariate curve resolution alternative least squares (MCR-ALS) methods. In addition the intramolecular hydrogen bonding strength and its related thermodynamic parameters have been determined using MCR-ALS and spectral variation of the Schiff base solutions in different temperatures.

The oxidation of the recently synthesized Schiff base 3,6-bis((2-aminoethyl-5-Br-salicyliden)thio)pyridazine (PABST) with hydrogen peroxide was investigated using spectrophotometric studies. The reaction rate order and observed rate constant of the oxidation reaction was obtained in the mixture of N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF):water (30:70, v/v) at pH 10 using multivariate cure resolution alternative least squares (MCR-ALS) method and rank annihilation factor analysis (RAFA). The effective parameters on the oxidation rate constant such as percents of DMF, the effect of transition metals like Cu(2+), Zn(2+), Mn(2+) and Hg(2+) and the presence of surfactants were investigated. The keto-enol equilibria in DMF:water (30:70, v/v) solution at pH 7.6 was also investigated in the presence of surfactants. At concentrations above critical micelle concentration (cmc) of cationic surfactant cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), the keto form was the predominant species, while at concentrations above cmc of anionic surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), the enol form was the predominant species. The kinetic reaction order and the rate constant of tautomerization in micellar medium were obtained using MCR-ALS and RAFA. The results obtained by both the methods were in a good agreement with each other. Also the effect of different volume percents of DMF on the rate constant of tautomerization was investigated. The neutral surfactant (Triton X-100) had no effect on tautomerization equilibrium.
