Figure 2 Diagrammatic summary of selected structural, substituent, and solvent effects on rate constants (kj, at 298 K) for base hydrolysis of low spin iron(II)-diimine complexes. Ligand abbreviations not appearing in the list at the end of this chapter are apmi = (73) with = Me BOH cage = (78) with X = OH ...

Data from Reference 50. Data acquired in THF solvent at ambient temperature, unless otherwise stated. Ligand abbreviations Cp=l,2,4-tris(trimethylsilyl)cyclopentadienyl tmeda = tetramethylethylenediamine. Data for MgCE and MgBr2 are given for comparison. 

In compiling the redox couples for tables that appear in this chapter, we have routinely rounded peak potentials to the nearest 10 mV. Redox potential values that appear to occur outside the normal useful working range of a solvent at a particular electrode4 were not, in general, included in the tables. For ligands that have common or easily recognized abbreviations, these are also provided in the tables and may also be used in the text and equations. For many of the entries in the tables, notations have been made about reversible (rev), quasi-reversible (qr) or irreversible (ir) processes.
