“…Their studies suggested the major existence of polynuclear Bi(III) species as a result of hydrolysis. On the other hand, Hataye et al [2] and Suganuma et al [3] studied the mononuclear species formed in more diluted concentrations ofbismuth(III)(ca. 10" 11 -10" 9 Μ, 1 Μ = 1 mol dm" 3 ) in 1.0 M(H,Na)C10 4 ,1.0 M(H,Na)N0 3 , and 1.0 Μ (H,Na)Cl solutions, based on a backward solvent extraction with a dithizone(H 2 dz)-CCl 4 solution.…”
