The detedion and stauctural determination can be done by conductance measurements. There is a decrease or irlctease in the value of electricai
condudance ot a solution in which complex formatton occurs. Ths is due to disappearance or production of ions of comparatively higher mobility eE
The additionof two moles of gtycine. NH:CHzCOOH to one mole of aqueous cupric actate solution decreases the solution conductivitybecause of ir:i
formation of a dtelated complex [Cu(NH2CHTCOO)rI.
This method can also give the useful information about the totalnumber of ions qlvon by a complex.
