Abstract

The solubility, partial molar volume and standard integral molar enthalpy of solution of cis- and trans-[CoCl2(en)2]Cl in water, aqueous methanol, aqueous tert-butyl alcohol and aqueous acetonitrile are reported. The transfer functions ∆Gt0, ∆Ht0 and TSt0 as well as partial molar volumes are used to obtain information on the solute-solvent interactions. Results obtained are discussed in terms of differences in the surface charge distribution in isomeric coordination species.
