Complexes of organometallic compounds. XXXVIII. Anion Exchange Studies on the Trimethyllead (IV) Thiocyanate aqueous complex system

The distribution of Me₃Pb^IV between the anion exchange resin Dowex 1 X 8 and aqueous solutions of NaSCN and KSCN was investigated. In the aqueous phase, up to 3 M thiocyanate concentration, only the formation of the neutral species Me₃PbNCS was detected and the related stability constant evaluated. Evidence of formation into the resin phase of the anionic Me₃Pb(NCS) species was obtained.
