Initial state and transition state solvation in the peroxodisulphate oxidation of dicyanobis(2,2′-bipyridyl)iron(II)
Abstract
Solvent effects on the kinetics of peroxodisulphate oxidation of dicyanobis(2,2′-bipyridyl)iron(II), [Fe(bipy)2(CN)2], in aqueous methanol have been analysed into initial state and transition state components; the latter dominate the observed reactivity trend.
