Abstract
Aqueous solutions 10(-3) mol dm(-3) in (Cd-I)(2), prepared by treating O-2- free solutions of Cd(ClO4)(2) or Cd(O3SCF3)(2) with Cd powder at 65 degrees C, can be handled by conventional methods; the comproportionation constant (Cd2+ + Cd reversible arrow Cd-2(2+)) is estimated as 0.018 (24 degreesC, I = 1.14 M) and the formal oxidation potential as -0.45 V; this atypical sta te readily reduces I-3(-), IrCl62-, pyridine complexes of (NH3)(5)Ru-III, a nd superoxo derivatives of (NH3)(5)Co-III.
