Oxidation states

Latest comment: 3 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

[Sg(H
₂O)
₆]⁶⁺
converts to ions with less water and less positive ions.
The only known oxidation states (as of 2023, according to the article) are +6 and 0.
[Sg(OH)
₃(H
₂O)
₂]⁺
has Sg in oxidation state of +4.

Is the single positive charge a mistake, or did the Sg oxidation state of 4 actually appear? Alfa-ketosav (talk) 08:28, 25 May 2023 (UTC)Reply

The mistake was that an O was accidentally omitted, which I have now corrected to [SgO(OH)
₃(H
₂O)
₂]⁺
. Good catch. ^Complex/_Rational 16:31, 25 May 2023 (UTC)Reply
