N2  - The dissociation of Fe(tpy)23+ has been studied in aqueous sulfuric acid. The rate of reaction increases upon addition of small amounts of acid, reaches a maximum, and then falls to zero in a complex fashion as the acid approaches limiting concentration, and aH2O falls to zero. No dissociation occurs in the absence of water, and it is evident that covalent hydration of the complex is an essential step in the dissociation process.
