Experimental verification of the reliability of the prediction by a stochastic model for choosing of ligands for the electrodeposition of alloys and multivalent metals

Abstract

The composition of complex compounds, from the solutions of which the electrodeposition of Ag-Cu, Cu-Co, and Bi-Co alloys and Fe as a multivalent metal is possible or impossible, is predicted on the basis of a stochastic model for selection of ligands that makes it possible to determine the allowable range of the values of the stability constants of complexes, the reduction of which occurs with the formation of an alloy. The reliability of the prediction and, consequently, the adequacy of the stochastic model for selection of ligands are experimentally verified.
