Formation of Aluminium(III)‐Monocarboxylates in Aqueous Solution

Abstract

AbstractBy means of stopped‐flow experiments equilibrium and rate constants are determined for the weak complexation of the aluminium(III)‐ion with formate, acetate, chloroacetate and benzoate. For the innersphere complex formation both equilibrium and rate constants depend on the nature of the ligand, and a linear free energy relation is observed between rate constants and dissociation constants of the corresponding acids.
