Abstract: | A theoretical study of the possibilities of applicability to very unstable complexes of the «continuous variation» principle shows that the general equation of a theoretical Job's curve can be reduced, for limiting values of x and 1 ? x (x being the ligand's mole fraction), to expressions permitting the determination of the number «m» of the central groupes, the number «n» of the ligands, and the stability constants of highly dissociated complexes. Theoretical and practical limitations are discussed. |
