Speciation of Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) complexes with succi- nic acid in the presence of anionic, cationic and non-ionic surfactants at an ion- ic strength of 0.16 mol dm -3 and temperature 303 K were investigated pH me- trically. The existence of different binary complex species was established from modelling studies using the computer program MINIQUAD75. The decreased stability of the complexes with increasing micellar content was explained by electrostatic forces. The influence of the micelles on the chemical speciation is discussed based on the mole fraction of the medium. Distribution diagrams of various species of the complexes in relation to pH are presented.
