Abstract

The first-order rate constants for the replacement of X- from 21 different complexes of the type trans-[ML(A)X]n+ [M = CoIII, RuIII, or RuII; L = either two bidentate or one quadridentate amine ligand; and (A)X = (Cl)Cl, (Cl)Br, (Br)Cl, or (Br)Br] have been determined over a range of temperature. It has been found that the ruthenium(II) (d6) complexes behave much more like the corresponding ruthenium(III) (d5) than the cobalt(III) (d6) and rhodium(III) (d6) systems.
