摘要:
The kinetics of the ring-closure reactions of Mo(CO)5L, produced during the laser flash photolysis of Mo(CO)6 and L where L = 2,2'-bipyridine (bpy), 4,4'-dimethyl-2, 2'-bipyridine (dmpby) and 4,4'-diphenyl-2,2'-bipyridine (dpbpy) were studied as a function of temperature and pressure. The values of the activation parameters DELTA-S(double dagger) and DELTA-V(double dagger) are small and negative for L = bpy and dmbpy supporting an associative interchange mechanism (I(a)) for CO extrusion. For L = dpbpy, DELTA-V(double dagger) is small and positive in line with a dissociative interchange mechanism (I(d)). The results demonstrate a changeover in mechanism from I(a) to I(d) with increasing steric hindrance on the bidentate ligand L.
