For the endothermic process of loss of the coordinated base B, we calculated activation energies with a method reported previously by us; the mechanism and pre-exponential Arrhenius factor of this reaction were also determined. A relationship between the pyridines basicity, IR and electronic spectral data, and activation energies was established.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
