Abstract: | The replacement of Cl? by ethylenediamine (en) in PdCl has been followed spectrophotometrically at 25°C and μ = 1 (NaClO4); it proceeds in two steps leading to Pd(en)Cl2 and Pd(en) , respectively. The observed rate constants are discussed in terms of the mechanism proposed by Reinhardt 1] for the successive ammination reactions of PdCl . |
