The aqueous complexation of some lanthanides(III) and lanthanum(III) ions with quercetin and quercetinsulfanate are reported. The equilibrium stability constants for the formation of 1 : 1 monocomplexes Ln(III)-quercetin/ quercetinsulfanate (Ln(III)=La(III), Ce(III), Pr(III), Nd(III), Sm(III), Eu(III), Gd(III), Tb(III), Dy(III), Er(III), Tm(III), Yb(III)) were determine in an acetic buffered solution. The measurements were conducted by spectrophotometric method at 293 K and I = 1(NaClO 4). Structures of formed complexes were suggested with using DFT simulations.
