title: Diffusion coefficients and complex equilibria in solution-I theory: Diffusion coefficients of complex species.
abstract: It is shown that in principle it is possible to obtain values of the formation constants of metal complexes in solution from values of diffusion coefficients. It is also confirmed that, in a system of successively formed complexes, there is a linear relationship between the square root of the diffusion coefficients and the co-ordination numbers of the complexes formed. In some instances such analysis has shown that revision of some previously reported formation constant data is required.
