Abstract: | As a mutual ligand reactivity index we proposed the stabilization energy E calculated by perturbation theory. For intermediate complexes from the oxidation reaction of phosphine and arsine with the halogenide Cu(II) we obtain a correlation between the size of E and the rate constant. The electronic properties of the complexes are calculated using the MWH method.Sokolskii Institute for Organic Catalysis and Electrochemistry, Kazakh Academy of Sciences, Alma-Ata.
