The
equilibrium constant
for the addition of the
th
proton to a charged or uncharged ligand. The cumulative protonation constant,
,
is the
equilibrium constant for the formation of
HnL from
H+
and
L. The same
equilibrium constant may be described in several ways,
depending on how the ligand,
L, or the acid, has been defined.
