The gas chromatography of ammonia : heterogeneous systems containing silver ammines by Rutenberg, Aaron Louis

“…The appearance of a plateau in the case of solid complexes is due to an invariant state prevailing under constant temperature conditions, since the number of phases formed is sufficient to yield this state, and hence define the pressure variable. The information obtained from the literature, enabled an alternative chromatographic method of investigating solid ammine complexes to be proposed for future work. …”
