Abstract

Electrical conductivity measurements on solutions of the trinitratonitrosylruthenium complex in water indicate that it is an acid for which the first dissociation constant has a value of 0·014 mole litre −1. The partition coefficient of the complex between solutions in water and in tri- n-butyl phosphate (TBP) has been calculated from its observed distribution between these solvents and the degree of dissociation of the complex in aqueous solutions. The hydrolysis of the complex in nitric acid solutions has been shown to occur initially by a first-order rate process with a rate constant k = 0·046 min −1 at 25°C.
