Aspects of the mechanism of the rapid cleavage of P2O74– ion in Co(en2)P2O7–(en ![[double bond, length half m-dash]](https://www.rsc.org/images/entities/char_e006.gif)
ethane-1,2-diamine) by Co(tn)2(OH)(OH2)2+(tn propane-1,3-diamine) are outlined to show how the metal ions act in concert, to provide a co-ordinated nucleophile(OH–) to assist the leaving group in serving a central P–O bond and in general to neutralize charge on the PO3 residues.
