Thus, studies of magnetic properties clearly indicate the interaction of PAl macromolecules and a transition metal compound even at mixing. This interaction restructures the coordination additive sphere, apparently, by means of the ligand exchange. At high temperatures, especially in the presence of oxygen, the system remains labile. As a result of all transformations, apparently, Cu is reduced to Cu. ... 

The complexes on surface of chelate-functionalized silica often include ligands available in solution in the coordination sphere. Use of a chromophore reagent as a ligand leads to the formation of colored mixed ligand complexes (MLC). The phenomena can be used as a basis for developing test-systems for visual determination of microquantities of inorganic cations in water. 

It is well known, that in aqueous solutions the water molecules, which are in the inner coordination sphere of the complex, quench the lanthanide (Ln) luminescence in result of vibrations of the OH-groups (OH-oscillators). The use of D O instead of H O, the freezing of solution as well as the introduction of a second ligand to obtain a mixed-ligand complex leads to either partial or complete elimination of the H O influence. The same effect may be achieved by water molecules replacement from the inner and outer coordination sphere at the addition of organic solvents or when the molecule of Ln complex is introduced into the micelle of the surfactant. 

Ni has a coordination sphere of 5 or 6 mixed S-, N-, 0-donors and is believed to undergo redox cycling between III, II and I oxidation states. 

The presence of halides in the coordination sphere with aldehydes is important as zinc halides are typically used in organic synthesis as organic carbonyl activators. Large excesses of aldehydes and anhydrous zinc halides were necessary. Both monomeric and polymeric structures with halide bridges were observed. Tetrahedral geometries were observed for mixed ligand, aldehyde, and halide complexes.353... 

Let us consider the mixed valent Feni2Fen oxo-centred complex [Fe3OL3], the molecular structure of which is illustrated in Figure 77.121 It is evident that all the iron centres have the same coordination sphere. 

Interaction Between Partial Reactions. The original mixed-p)otential theory assumes that the two partial reactions are independent of each other (1). In some cases this is a valid assumption, as was shown earlier in this chapter. However, it was shown later that the partial reactions are not always independent of each other. For example, Schoenberg (13) has shown that the methylene glycol anion (the formaldehyde in an alkaline solution), the reducing agent in electroless copper deposition, enters the first coordination sphere of the copper tartrate complex and thus influences the rate of the cathodic partial reaction. Ohno and Haruyama (37) showed the presence of interference in partial reactions for electroless deposition of Cu, Co, and Ni in terms of current-potential curves.
