Abstract
IN the course of a spectrophotometric investigation of the hydrolysis of the ferric ion in solutions of ionic strength greater than unity, evidence was obtained that ferric ions entered into complex formation with perchlorate ions. Although it has hitherto been widely assumed that perchlorate anions form no complexes, such interaction might well be expected with the smallest (and most highly charged) cations. Further experiments carried out with approximately 10−4 M ferric perchlorate in 1–7 M perchloric acid solutions in the wave-length range 2600–3600 A. confirmed the preliminary observations and provided quantitative data for the process.
