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.
