Abstract:The kinetics of ligand substitution at the binuclear nickel(I1) chelate Ni,L, where L is EGTA ((Ethy1enedioxy)diethylenedinitrilo)tetraacetic acid with cyanide ion has been investigated spectrophotometrically. The reaction conditions were pH = 11.0 i 0.1, g = 0.1 M (NaCIO,) and T = 25 t 0.1". The formation of Ni(CN):-is fjlst order in Ni,L and first-order in cyanide over a large range of cyanide concentration, but below M the reaction becomes zero order in cyanide. These results indicate the presence of a slow… Show more
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.
