COMPLEX COMPOUNDS OF BERYLLIUM WITH 5-NITROSALICYLIC ACID

Measurements of pH and conductance with 5-nitrosalicylic acid show that unlike salicylic acid, which forme two complexes with beryllium, nitrosalicylic acid forma only a rather unstable 1:1 complex. The result: show that the presence of a nitro group affects the chelate-forming nature to a marked extent.
