Kinetics and mechanistic investigation of the substitution from dinuclear Pt(II) complexes bridged by N,N’ - bis (2-pyridylcarboxamide)phenylenediamines

Effect of the extended π-surface and N-butyl substituents of imidazoles on their reactivity, electrochemical behaviours and biological interactions of corresponding Pt(ii)-CNC carbene complexes: exploring DFT and docking interactions

“…This is further reinforced by the large −Δ S # and positive Δ H # values ( vide supra Table 1) for the associatively activated mechanism for the chloride substitution by thiourea nucleophiles. 44,45…”
