The complex formation from Ni(II) ion and 2-(2-Hydroxyethylamino)-2-(hydroxymethyl)-1,3-propanediol(Monotris) in aqueous solution at $25^{\circ}C$ and at ionic strength of 0.10M has been studied potentiometrically. In the Monotris(L) comlex $NiL^{2+}$, hydroxyl oxygen atom as well as the amine nitrogen of the ligand are coordinated to the Ni(II) ion.. The complex $NiL^{2+}$ undergoes further dissociation as the pH is increased forming triply deprotonated dinuclear complex $Ni_2L_2H_{-3}^+$.

The complex formation from Zn(II) ion and 2-(2-hydroxyethylamino)-2-(hydroxymethyl)-1,3-propanediol (Monotris), Bis(2-hydroxyethyl)imino-tris(hydroxymethyl)methane(Bistris) in aqueous solution at $25^{\circ}C$ and at an ionic strength of 0.10 M have been studied potentiometrically. For the Zn(II)-Monotris system, in the Monotris (L) complex $ZnL^{2+}$, one of the hydroxyl oxygen atoms as well as the amine nitrogen of the ligand are coordinated. In basic media, the coordinated hydroxyl group is deprotonated. For the Zn(II)-Bistris system, in the Bistris(L) complex $ZnL^{2+}$, two of the hydroxyl oxygen atoms as well as the amine nitrogen of the ligand are coordinated. In basic media, one of the coordinated hydroxyl groups is deprotonated. In very high basic media, an additional hydroxyl group undergoes deprotonation. The equilibrium constants for the formation of $ZnL^{2+}$, $ZnLH_{-1}{^+}$, $ZnLH_{-2}$, $Zn_2L_2H_{-2}{^{2+}}$ and $Zn_2L_2H_{-3}{^+}$ have been determined.
