Tracer diffusion of the tris(1,10-phenanthroline)iron(II) cation in aqueous salt solutions. Effect of hydrophobic interactions

Abstract
Tracer diffusion coefficients for the Fe(phen)3 2+ ion (phen = 1,10-phenanthroline) have been measured in aqueous solutions containing Ni(phen)3SO4, Bu4NBr, MgSO4 and NaBr, respectively, at 298.2 K. The diffusion coefficient–viscosity product, , is found to decrease with increasing concentration of Ni(phen)3SO4, but the concentration dependence of is very weak in other salt solutions. The results suggest the presence of cation–cation interactions between Fe(phen)3 2+ and Ni(phen)3 2+.
