CRITICAL SURVEY OF STABILITY CONSTANTS OF CYANO COMPLEXES†

Abstract

All the published stability constants of cyanocomplexes of metal ions, and the acidic dissociation constants of hydrogen cyanide, and those of the protonated metal complexes are critically surveyed. Unfortunately, a great fraction of data is unreliable and only a few thermodynamic data could be classified to the category of recommended values. The reasons of this situation are thorougly treated, and promising research areas are indicated. © 1987 IUPAC
