Free Energy Changes vis-a-vis other Thermodynamical Parameters as a Measure of Stability-A Solid Phase Study of Heats of Formation and Lattice Energies of β-and ϒ-Picoline Complexes of Fluoborates of some Transitional Metals: Part II

In a comparatively thorough investigation with a series of compounds of α, β and ϒ-picoline complexesof the fluoborates of Co, Ni, Zn and Cd, an attempt has been made to see which one amongst thethermodynamic parameters namely ∆H, ∆S, ∆F, Lattice energy and heats of formation, is morereliable, useful and recommendable for a study of the stability of comparable complexes. This publication deals with the limitations of the values of lattice energy and heats of formation.
