Hydrolysis of Pentaamminechlorocobalt(lll):A Unified Mechanistic View

摘要

The mechanisms of substitution processes in inorganic transition-metal complexes are well established (1,2);many inorganic chemistry textbooks include a chapter about the subject (3,4).Given the quantity of information available on Co(III)-pentaammine complexes (5-7),as well as the inertness derived from their t_(2g)~6 electronic configuration,most of the information given to undergraduate students is based on their dissociatively activated substitution reactivity (8,9).
