A common dissociative interchange (Id) mechanism for the aquations of penta-aminechloro-cobalt(III) and -chromium(III) complexes
Abstract
The rate of aquation of [Cr(NH2Me)5Cl]2+ is slower than that of [Cr(NH3)5Cl]2+ because of a shorter Cr–Cl bond in the ground state of [Cr(NH2Me)5Cl]2+, which is consistent with an Id mechanism.
