We study the short‐time and long‐time diffusion coefficients and the high‐frequency and zero‐frequency effective viscosity of a dilute suspension of sticky hard spheres with hydrodynamic interactions. Due to the singular nature of the hydrodynamic interactions near touching the transport coefficients are strongly affected by the short‐range attractive potential. This suggests that the transport coefficients may be used as a test of the interaction potential.
