Reviews of the Common Methods

The usual methods for cobalt(III) complexes may be classified into two categories, the oxidation from Co(II) to Co(III), and the substitution between a starting cobalt(III) complex and a reagent for ligand. Some examples are  

The technique of air bubbling is applicable to the oxidation of a cobalt(II) salt in a basic aqueous solution containing an amine (or ammonia) and a salt of the amine (or ammonia)  

2) Tris(oxalato)cobaltate(III) complex is prepared from the components using lead dioxide as the oxidizing agent 

C0CO3 + H2C2O4 — C0C2O4 + H2O + CO2 2 C0C2O4 + 4 K2C2O4 + PbOz + 4 HC2H3O2 - 

This method of Pb02 oxidation has been revived recently for preparing mixed ligand complexes with such chromophores as [Co(N)2(0)4] and [ 0(14)4(0)2]

A review of the common methods of measuring acoustic absorption and dispersion is presented by Cottrell and McCoubrey [9], The ultrasonic interferometer, the absorption tube, the condenser transducer, and the reverberation chamber are the standard types of apparatus. 

As shown by the above review of the common methods used for the determination of the CMC, a series of measurements of some property of the surfactant solution as a function of surfactant concentration is usually involved. This is followed by the detection of some characteristic point - which is called the CMC. Methodical differences may originate from the choice of the characteristic point, the kind of plot on which this point is chosen, the kind of data which are plotted and the effect of the dye. The CMC is not a very sharply defined point above which properties are qualitatively different from those below. In fact, all properties of a solution in the CMC region vary in a continuous manner and so do all of their derivatives. A micelle is by definition a reversible aggregate of a large but not infinite number of monomers. The micelle formation reaction must obey the laws of chemical equilibrium and, as such, the concentration dependence of the degree of micellization has to change gradually. Consequently, all properties of the...
