258.0 x 10-29.385.20 x 10-4
 Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   A 5 ml tetrachloromethane sample containing a labeled complex, cobalt(III) pyrrolidinecarbodithioate, was placed together with 1000 ml water into a separation funnel. After rigorous shaking of the funnel for 5 minutes the mixture was left for 30 minutes before separation  of the two phases. Samples were withdrawn for activity measurement using a NaI (Tl) scintillation detector. Several factors were adjusted to obtain accurate measurements.

 Source and Purity of Materials:
   (1) E. Merck Co., used as received.
   (2) Demineralized and then boiled at reduced pressure.

 Estimated Errors:
   Solubility: ± 0.7 x 10-2 std. dev.
   Temperature: ± 1.0 K (compiler).
