The rater of dirsodstion of bL-("-methylbiguonide)nickel~I) and bb~-phenylbigunnide)nickel(Il) in aqucow acid have been rtudier by the rtopped-fbw rpectrophotmetric technique. The reactions occur in two conrecutivc rtep, the fint being fiuter than the second, ultimately fonning the aquometal ion and the prOtOMted band. For each rtep the rate b acid dependent PI exprewd by k, = kk[H*], where k, i~ the obierved rate constant. The results are consistent with a machanitm involving an aarbted dusodatin pzocnar involving the protonatad cornpiexu with conriderable solvent puticipetion in the tranrition date. The observed lability order b Ni(PhbigH)r > Ni(MebigH):* > Ni(BiigH):*.
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.
