Abstract

The rate of the reaction between octacyanomolybdate(V) and iodide has been measured by a microtitration method. The orders with respect to Mo(CN)83– and I– are a little larger than unity. Mo(CN)84– has a retarding effect. The reaction exhibits very specific salt effects in the order : (Et4N+ Li+ < (C2H4OH)4N+≃ Na+ < K+ < Mg++ < Ca++ < Ba++. The Olson–Simonson rule is approximately obeyed, but some specific effects due to anions are also present. A probable reaction mechanism is discussed.
