Abstract
Substitution of coordinated chlorides in cis-α, and cis-β dichloro (triethylene tetramine) cobalt(III) chloride by thiocyanate was studied in aqueous medium in the pH range 3.8 to 4.0 at 25–26° C. Substitution, as in aquation, took place in two steps corresponding to the two chlorides, one step being faster than the other. Mechanisms have been discussed in the paper.
