Abstract

The rate of substitution of bromide in [Pt(dien)Br] + by a series of pyridine derivatives was found to be governed primarily by steric properties of the entering group. There was no general relationship between this rate and the basicity of the entering group. A more complete analysis of the proposed mechanism of such reactions is given and it is shown that the two term rate law, commonly used to describe such reactions, may be only an approximation.
