The Electrical Conductivity of Some Transition Metal Complexes with 2,2`-Bipyridyl in Different Solvents at 298.16K

Abstract

The aim of this research is a conductivity study of Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II)
complexes with 2,2`-Bipyridyl (bipy) in water, methanol and ethanol as solvents at
298.16K. The data were analyzed by using Lee-Wheaton (LW) conductivity equation for
asymmetric electrolytes. The conductivity parameters: ionic conductivity (λ°),
association constant (KA) and the average distance parameter between the ions (R) at the
best fit values of the standard deviation σs(Λ) have been calculated.
The results are discussed on the basis of the solvent effect on the conductivity
parameters of these complexes.
