Metal ion hydrolysis is fundamental in aqueous chemistry because of the influence of coordinating hydroxide ions on reaction rates; examples include enhanced labilization of coordinating water molecules in hydrolyzed complexes1 and stabilization of oxidized products in electron-transfer reactions involving hydrolyzed reductants.2 Moreover, the role of metal hydrolysis reactions in defining a baseline for establishing trends in metal ligand binding has motivated efforts toward comprehensive integration of Mz+ xOHy stability constants.3-5
