Synthesis, Characterisation and Kinetic Studies of Acid-promoted Dissociation Reactions of the Nickel(II) Complex of a [Me₄(14)-tetraene-N₄] Macrocyclic Ligand

Abstract

The kinetics of acid-promoted dissociation reactions of Ni^II complex cations of an Me₄-tetraene macrocyclic ligand follow good first-order reactions with acids in various solvents with the rate of reaction proceeding faster in media of higher dielectric constant.
