Stability of monochloride complexes of some divalent transition-metal cations in N,N-dimethylformamide
Abstract
Equimolar mixtures of divalent transition-metal perchlorates in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) have been used as constant ionic media for studying the formation of monochloride complexes of metal cations. The derived stability constants of the MCl(DMF)+5-type complexes (M = Mn, Co, Ni, Cu) disobey the Irving–Williams series forming the sequence Mn > Co > Ni < Cu.
