Estimation of the Thermochemical Radii and Ionic Volumes of Complex Ions.

The estimation of the thermochemical radius is very important because most of the properties of the electrolyte solutions are, to some extent, linked to this property. Also, these thermochemical radii can be used to estimate lattice energies, which can be a very important parameter to be evaluated when assessing the possibility of synthesizing new inorganic materials. This study presents a formulation for estimating the thermochemical radii of complex ions.
