Charge Transfer in Mono-hydroxo and Mono-fluoro Complexes of Tripositive Cations in the First Transition Series

Abstract

VALUES of ΔGass (Table 1) have been measured for the reactions where L is OH or F and ML2+ are the hydroxyl complexes of the cations Ti3+ to Co3+ or the fluoride complexes of Fe3+ and Cr3+. Here a correlation is demonstrated between a function involving ΔGass and ΔGredox for the overall electron-transfer process which indicates a charge-transfer structure for the associated species, M3+LM2+L.
