Thermodynamic stability of cerium(IV) complexes formed in the initial stage of oxidation of 8-hydroxyquinoline and 8-hydroxy-7-iodoquinoline-5-sulfonic acid by cerium(IV) sulfate were studied spectrophotometrically and pH-potentiometrically with the aid of differential kinetic methods at an ionic strength I = 2 mol/L within the pH range of 0.5-2.5 in a sulfuric acid medium and at temperatures of 275.15-289.15 K. Composition of these complexes, the form of organic ligand existence therein, and their stability constants were determined.
