Abstract: In order to appreciate the reaction mechanism in a series of oxidations of the ligands bonded in Co(III) complexes by different oxidizing agents such as IO₄^-, S₂O₈^-, and H202 , the correlations based on the principle of linear relationship of the Gibbs energies were used. The results obtained for oxidation of the ions [CoCyS(en)₂]⁺, [CoCySO(en)₂]⁺, [Co(en)₂SCH₂COO]⁺, [Co(NH₃)₅NCS]²⁺, and [Co(dmgH)₂(NCS)₂]^- were completed by the results concerning the oxidation of the [Co(en)₂SOCH₂COO]⁺ ion by periodate.
