Abstract

Rate constants are reported for base hydrolysis of several low-spin iron(II)-diimine complexes, mostly of polydentate ligands, in water and in aqueous methanol (up to 40% methanol). Rate constant trends from these and earlier studies of a variety of iron(II)-diimine complexes are compared and discussed in terms of ligand structure, ligand substituents, and solvation properties of the various complexes.

Keywords

low-spin iron(II)-diimine complexes; base hydrolysis; kinetics
