Abstract

The rate of the associative ligand exchange process on tetrakis (hexamethylphosphoramide)zinc(II) ion in CD2Cl2 solution, determined by 31P n.m.r. spectroscopy, is given by: ������������������� rate = 4k2[O=P(Nme2)3][Zn(O=P(NMe2)3)42+] The characteristic kinetic parameters are: k2(240 K) 304�17 dm3 mol-1 s-1, ΔH2‡ 22.7�0.9 kJ mol-1, and ΔS2‡ -101�4 J K-1 mol-1. ��� The preparations of [Zn(O=P(NMe2)3)4](ClO4)2, [Zn(O=P(OMe)3)5] (ClO4)2 and [Zn {O=P(Me)-(OMe)2}5](ClO4)2 are reported. The rate of ligand exchange upon the last two species was found to be in the fast-exchange limit of the n.m.r. time scale.
