Abstract:
Sedimentation potentials (SP) were measured for a series of nitroamminecobalt(III) chlorides in aqueous solution. The magnitudes of the sedimentation potentials varied with the number of NO
2–
ligands in the complexes and a definite positive signal was observed for a neutral complex Co(NO2)3(NH3)3]0. The division of the partial molar volumes of nitroamminecobalt(III) complexes based on the observed SP values resulted in comparable values of the partial molar volume for the Cl– ion, suggesting no appreciable hydrolysis nor ionic association occur for these nitroammine-cobalt(III) complexes.
