Abstract
Partial molar volumes (V 2°) have been determined at infinite dilution in aqueous solution at 20 °C for a series of octahedral N6-coordinated cobalt(III) species having five-coordinated ammonia ligands along with an N-coordinated linear alkyl amine whose alkyl chain was varied from ethylamine to octylamine. The experimental values for V 2° are consistent with the relative sizes of the ligands but show increasing deviations from those predicted by computer modeling, as the size of the cation increases, presumably due to the void space of the cation that increases with the size of the amine ligand. The value of the partial molar volume at infinite dilution increased by about 16 mL⋅mol−1 with each added methylene group.
