Kinetics of the reaction of cyanide with ruthenium phthalocyanine complexes
摘要:
Kinetic studies of the reaction of cyanide with (CO)(DMF)RuPc and (DMSO)2RuPc in DMF are reported. In the presence of a large excess of cyanide, the (CN)2RuPc complex is formed by pseudo first order kinetics. The reaction is first order in both cyanide and phthalocyanine, with specific rate constants of 5.2 x 10(-2) and 7.2 x 10(-2) M-1 s-1 for reactions of cyanide with (CO)(DMF)RuPc and (DMSO)2RuPc, respectively. The rate constants correspond to the coordination of the second cyanide ligand to the ruthenium phthalocyanine species.
