Homogeneous isotope exchange between copper(II) and bis(resacetophenone oxime)copper(II) complex

Isotope exchange behavior of bis(resacetophenone oxime)copper(II) complex with copper(II) in tri-n-butyl-phosphate and methanol medium has been studied. The studies were carried out at different temperatures varying the concentration of both metal ion and complex. The results show that the complex is labile in the kinetic sense. Increase in temperature increases the isotope exchange rate. The increase in concentration also results in enhancement of the rate of reaction.
