Question

The equilibrium constant for the reaction of hexaaquacobalt(II) with 2 mol of malonate, -OOCCH2COO-, is approximately 5.0 x 10^3. Use this and the information given in Problem 6.12 to decide whether malonate or oxalate complexes of Co^2+ are more stable. Draw the possible structures of the resulting chelate complexes. What does your answer lead you to conclude about the relative stability of five- and six-membered chelate rings in this case?
