Evidence for quasi-intramolecular acid-base reactions in solutions of transition metal ammine complexes

We have investigated the effect of temperature on the postulated quasi-intramolecular acid-base reactions in aqueous solutions of Cu(NH3)4(MnO4)2 and Ag(NH3)2ClO4. Pure ammonium permanganate and perchlorate were obtained above 5 ∘C and at room temperature, respectively, due to quasi-intramolecular acid-base reactions.
