Johansson et al. (1985) and Johansson and Wakita (1985) have studied the selenate and perchlorate systems using isomorphous substitution by yttrium to remove the ambiguities involved in the interpretation of the experimental data. The results indicate that selenate ions are monodentate ligands to R " while the perchlorate ions show no inner-sphere complex formation even at high concentrations. The coordination number was found in all systems to be invariably 8 0.3. This is the same value as Wertz and coworkers have assumed to be valid in concentrated chloride and bromide solutions. On the other hand, the neutron diffraction study by Narten and Hahn (1982) using isotopic substitution gave 8.5 0.2 for 2.85MNdCl3.
