Effects of cations upon absorption spectra. Part 3.—The interaction of chloride and nickel(II) in acetone and dimethyl sulphone

Abstract

The various equilibria which occur when nickel(II) in acetone and dimethyl sulphone reacts with the chloride ion are examined. Various species containing solvent and chloride are detected spectrophotometrically and the role of the added cations in particular is explored. These cations affect the relative concentrations of the various species involved in specific ways.
