Double-bridging in inner-sphere electron transfer involving chelates; reduction of bis(pentane-2,4-dionato)ethylenediaminecobalt(III) by chromium(II)
Abstract
The reduction of bis(pentane-2,4-dionato)ethyl-enediaminecobalt(III) by chromiun(II) occurs by an inner-sphere path involving both single bridged and double transition states in addition to the expected outer-sphere path.
