Aftereffects of the 57Co(EC)57Fe-reaction in some cobalt and iron complexes
Abstract
Mössbauer emission spectra of iron and cobalt complexes, doped or labelled with 57Co, demonstrate that the 57Co(EC)57Fe reaction can have significant chemical effects, although the probability of displacement of the nascent57Fe is very low. Measurements on specifically 57Co-labelled [Co(bipy)3][Co(CN)6],2H2O failed to show transfer of 57Fe from one complex to the other.
