Kinetics of redistribution of some tetrahedral nickel(II) chelates
Abstract
Scrambling of N-t-butylsalicylaldiminonickel(II) or N-isopropyltrifluoroacetyliminonickel(II) with N-isopropylacetyliminonickel(II) has been shown to follow a rate law for second-order reversible reactions in tetrachloroethylene solvent, activation entropies and energies being consistent with a bimolecular associative mechanism.
