Abstract
Mercury(II) perchlorate and thallium(III) perchlorate readily displace the pentacarbonylmanganese cation from pyridiniomethylpentacarbonylmanganese ions in aqueous solution at 25°. These reactions are believed to involve the bimolecular SE2 reaction at saturated carbon in which there is an open, unbridged transition state. The products are the corresponding pyridiniomethylmercury(II) or thallium(III) cations, though the latter are too unstable to remain as such. The influence of chloride ion on the rates of these reactions has been studied and the variation of the observed rate coefficients has been interpreted in terms of the different reactivities of the various mercury(II) and thallium(III) species in solution. Individual rate coefficients for the species Hg2+, HgCl+, HgCl2, HgCl3–, HgCl42–, Tl3+, TlOH2+, TlCl2+, TlCl2+, TlCl2+, TlCl3, and TlCl4– have all been estimated and the variations are compared with those for similar displacements of other transition metals.
