Activation volumes and solvent effects on bimolecular reactions of low-spin d6 complexes
Abstract
Activation volumes for reactions of [Fe(4-Me-phen)3]2+ with cyanide and with peroxodisulphate, and of Mo(bipy)(CO)4 with cyanide in various solvents suggest that cyanide or peroxodisulphate desolvation is a dominant feature in transition state formation.
