Bridged activated mechanism

The order of reactivity, TICI4- > TICI3 > TICI2+ > TP+ > T1CF+, reflects the change in mechanism from a chloride-bridged activated mechanism with the chloro-complexes to one involving intermediate complex formation with the aquo-ion. 

Thus, by such an approach it is possible to prepare Co -EDTA containing either five- or six-coordinated EDTA. Again, using this concept of bridged activated mechanism, a most interesting heteronuclear complex has been prepared, Eq. (85).

Suggestions that the sulphate catalysed paths may involve a mechanism with a sulphate-bridged activated complex, as opposed to a hydrogen-atom transfer mechanism, have been made. ... 

Traditionally, electron transfer processes in solution and at surfaces have been classified into outer-sphere and inner-sphere mechanisms (1). However, the experimental basis for the quantitative distinction between these mechanisms is not completely clear, especially when electron transfer is not accompanied by either atom or ligand transfer (i.e., the bridged activated complex). We wish to describe how the advantage of using organometals and alkyl radicals as electron donors accrues from the wide structural variations in their donor abilities and steric properties which can be achieved as a result of branching the alkyl moiety at either the a- or g-carbon centers.

An important comparison is that of the rate of reaction of Cr+ + with (NH3)eCo+ + + and with (NH8)sCoOH2+ ++. For the completely am-moniated species, the redox reaction is very slow, slower by at least a factor of 100 than for the aquo ion. The difference in rate can be ascribed to the availability of an electron pair when H2O is coordinated to a central ion all electron pairs are occupied for a coordinated NH3. The mechanism by which the hexammino ion is reduced is not known since the bridged activated complex has been made difiicult of access, electron transfer may in fact take place through the coordination spheres of the... 

Some general observations on the energies and entropies of activation of redox reactions which proceed by bridged activated complexes are in order. These quantities, even for the few systems for which they have been determined, cover the range 4 to 14 kcal and —20 to —45 e.u. respectively. The ranges overlap with those for the outer-sphere activated complexes and, except possibly in extreme cases, it is not safe to use the magnitude of these quantities as diagnostic of mechanism. The comparison of AS for the process... 

When an activation energy as small as 4 kcal is in question for the bridged activated complex, we face the difficulty that the activation energy for substitution on the Cr++ probably exceeds this value. A mechanism in which the reaction occurs in a single step,...
