Those given in Table I1 show that reaction 5 is independent of [Hgz+]. The product D-P-[Co(trien)(H2O)2Ia+ was shown to be spectrophotometrically indistinguishable (€487 124) from D-P-SS[Co(trien)(HZ0);]l3+ obtained by acidification of D-p-SS[Co(trien)C03]C104, but the polarimetric results showed considerable differences a t various acid concentrations. The products were optically more active a t wavelengths below 560 mp than optically pure D-,B-SS[Co(trien)(HZ0)2l3+obtained from D-p-SS[Co(trien)CO3]C104 (reaction 3). These results are given in Table 111. Figure 6 shows the RD curves of the products from reaction 5 after a t least 6 half-lives as a function of the HCIO, concentration. It can be seen that a t all acid strengths they are optically more active than the product obtained from reaction 3 with the largest differences occurring a t the lowest acid strengths. That these anomalous rotations were due to the presence of some D-P-SR-[Co(trien)(H20),l3+and were not due merely to the presence of Hg2+ was established by the experiment illustrated in eq ti.

I t was established also by the following set of experiments that the D-p-SR-[Co(trien)(H20)2I3+ ion is formed only via trans-SS-[Co(trien)(H20)2I3+ (eq 7-9). The R D curves of the trans-SS-[Co(trien)C1(H20)12+, trans-SS- [Co(trien)(Hz0)2]3f,and D-p-SS[Co(trien)C1(H20)]2+ions formed in reactions 8 and 9 are given in Figure 7. The trans products almost certainly contain some of the p species but they are predominantly as stated (>80yo). Furthermore, it was shown that similar treatment of L-p-RR-[Co(trien)C12]Clod over the acid range 0.01-1.0 A4 HC104 gave no evidence for the formation of the "high-rotation'' L-p-RS-[Co(trien)(H,O)n] + product, and only a single product identical spectrophotometrically and polarimetrically with t h a t obtained from optically pure L-B-RR-[Co(trien)COa]C104was formed (eq 10). From the above sequence of experiments (eq 7-10), it is evident that the D-P-SR-[Co(trien) (H20)p]3' ion is produced only during the isomerization of trans-SS-
