VOLTAMMETRIC EVALUATION OF THE STABILITY OF TRICHLORIDE, TRIBROMIDE, AND TRIIODIDE IONS IN NITROMETHANE, ACETONE, AND ACETONITRILE,

Abstract

The formation constants of trichloride, tribromide, and triiodide ions in acetonitrile and tribromide and triiodide ions in nitromethane and in acetone have been evaluated from electrochemical data. In addition, lower limits for the formation constant of the trichloride ion in acetone and in nitromethane have been calculated. The order of stability of the trihalides in these three aprotic solvents is Cl3(-) > Br3(-) > I3-, the reverse of that found in water. (Author)
