Solvation effects on the kinetics of diamine replacement in pentacyano(diamine)ferrate(II) complexes
Abstract
The rates of release of ligand L from [FeII(CN)5L]n– complexes {L = unidentate terminal diamines NH2-[CH2]n NH2(n= 3–6) unprotonated or monoprotonated} have been measured in aqueous solutions at various pH and temperatures. The kinetic parameters are interpreted on the basis of solvation effects.
