The ion exchange behaviour of beryllium salicylate complexes.

Abstract

As part of a general study of the co-ordination chemistry of beryllium, the beryllium salicylate complexes have been investigated by ion exchange procedures. The evidence indicates that a neutral 1 : 1 and an anionic 1 : 2 chelate exist in solution under appropriate conditions, and their stability constants have been determined by ion —exchange methods. The values of the stability constants were found to be β1 = 4.97 x 10 l2; and β2 = 2.63 x 10 22.
