Abstract

Upper and lower bound estimates of the CuCl+ stability constants produced by various investigations have been quantitatively examined. Our analyses, including our own ultraviolet spectroscopic investigations, indicate that the CuCl+ stability constant in 1 molar HClO4 is β1=0.70±0.23. The CuCl+ molar absorptivity at a wavelength of 250 nm was determined as 1860 cm2-mol−1. Our analyses suggest the bound β ′≤0.371 for the formation constant of MgCl+ at one molar ionic strength.
