Abstract: Kinetics of aquation of the ds-diacetatobis(ethylenediamine)cobalt(III) ion was investigated in the medium of NaCl, NaBr, and NaCl0₄ as support­ing electrolytes and in binary aqueous-organic solvents containing metha­nol, isopropyl alcohol, tert-butyl alcohol, acetonitrile, acetone, and dioxane as nonaqueous cosolvents. It has been found that the complex cation is associated with the Сl^- , Br^-, and СlO₄^- anions and the kinetic measure­ments were used for calculating the association constants. The dependence of thermodynamic transfer functions on mole fraction of the nonaqueous cosolvent was used for drawing conclusions related to the solvation of the initial and transition state of the investigated reaction.
