The dipole moments of cis- and trans-trichlorotriaquoruthenium(III)

The dipole moments of cis- and trans-trichlorotriaquoruthenium(III) have been found to be 7.5 and 4.4 D., respectively. The measurements were made at -78.5°, using ethyl acetate as a solvent. On the basis of the dipole moments, the assignment of the trans configuration to the isomer which elutes first from an anion-exchange column was confirmed.
