Predominance of initial-state properties in volume relations for solvent exchange kinetics
Abstract
In the exchange of solvent water with M2+(aq)(M = Mn, Fe, Co, Ni) or with M(NH3)5(OH2)3+(aq)(M = Cr, Co, Rh, Ir), the partial molar volumes of the transition states display less than one-third of the variability of the partial molar volumes of the initial states as M is varied within each series.
