Szilard chalmers studies on some chromium, cobalt and ruthenium complexes.

This research has been concerned with the chemical consequences of neutron capture in chromium(III), cobalt(III) and ruthenium(III) ammine complexes: pentammine, ethylenediamine and tetraethylene-pentamine. The isotopic exchange of ligand chlorine atoms of complexed ions with outer anionic chloride ions during neutron bombardment of the solid chromium(III), ruthenium(III) and cobalt(III) ammine complexes has been studied with chlorine-36 labelled chlorine atoms and anionic chloride ions. The order of stability of the complexes is: [M(NH3)5C1]C12
