Abstract
IN view of the recent classification of metals into two types1, partly on the basis of the relative stabilities of their halogen complexes, we wish to report the direct measurement of the relative stabilities of the chloro-, bromo- and iodo-platinates in aqueous solution. These stabilities can be used to obtain the differences of bond-strength between the various complexes. An earlier attempt by Schlesinger and Palmateer2 to measure the stabilities spectrophotometrically gave only semi-quantitative results.
