As the Sodium ethylenediaminitetraacetatocobaltate(Ⅲ) takes form five membered chelate ring, more strain is found in out-plane than in-plane. By the result of it the complex is unstable and therefore ligand, chloride ion, can attack this complex easily. But the potassium trimethylenediaminetetraacetatocobaltate(Ⅲ) form six membered chelate ring, so the structure is stable. As a conseguence of the above, the attack of chloride ion as lignad is found to be difficult.
