The effect of ionic strength and dielectric constant of the medium on the rate explains qualitatively the reaction between two negatively charged ions, as seen in Scheme 1. The moderate AH and AS values are favorable for electron transfer reaction. The negative value of AS suggests that the intermediate complex is more ordered than the reactants [11]. The observed modest enthalpy of activation and a higher-rate constant for the slow step indicate that the oxidation presumably occurs via an innersphere mechanism. This conclusion is supported by earlier observations [12]. 

In 2004, Wolfe et al. used a carboamination reaction for the first time for the stereoselective synthesis of substituted pyrrolidine derivatives via a Pd-catalyzed intermolecular iV-arylation followed by intramolecular cyclization reaction sequences. The reaction proceeds via an innersphere mechanism with the formation of the Pd(Ar)(NRR ) complex. In this reaction, a -(A-arylamino) alkene was treated with an aryl or heteroaryl bromide in the presence of NaO Bu as the base and Pd catalyst the corresponding 2,3- or 2,5-disubstituted pyrrolidine derivatives (Scheme 40.4) were obtained in good yields and excellent diastereoselectivity. ... 

A further interesting point comes from the comparison of the in vivo data with the other ligand substitution results in general. The in vivo half-lives listed are comparable with the rate data of the equatorial substitution and might suggest that the mechanisms responsible for the uptake/clearance of the radiopharmaceuticals, be they protein, peptide, or DNA interactions or innersphere redox reactions, might indeed be associated therewith. This is, however, just an observation and surely requires much more research to be well understood. 

These kinetics data are consistent with a preequilibrium dissociation of dmf from the molybdenum center to form a reactive five-coordinate species that rapidly reduces the Fe(III) center via an inner sphere (halogen transfer) reaction. Other one-electron atom transfer reactions are known in oxo-molybdenum chemistry (262). An innersphere (atom transfer) mechanism is not a viable model for intramolecular transfer in sulfite oxidase because in the enzyme the Mo and Fe centers are almost certainly held too far apart by the protein framework. Moreover, the 65-type heme center of sulfite oxidase is six-coordinate with axial histidine ligands from the protein and hence cannot participate in atom transfer reactions. 

If this interpretation is correct, then the pKa of the phenolic hydroxyl of the intermediate must be perturbed to a higher value by at least 2 pka units (i.e., a value >8.75), while the pKaofthe -CH2OH group is perturbed to a value <9 in this ternary complex. The blue-shifted spectrum of the intermediate is consistent with structure 2. Studies with other substrates (5,26,27,39) strongly support a catalytic mechanism in which the hydride transfer step involves the interconversion of innersphere-coordinated aldehyde and innersphere-coordinated al-koxide ion. The data of Kvassman et al. (39) and Sartorius et al. (26) indicate a pKa for the coordinated alcohol of 6 or 7 is not unreasonable (21,40). 

The fourth OA mechanism involves an innersphere electron transfer reaction between the organometallic compound and R-X, leading to the one-electron oxidized complex R radical cage. The radical cage then undergoes... 

As is known, soil consists of a mixture of weathered minerals and varying amounts of organic matter. In soils and sediments, cadmium and other metals are present in a number of chemical forms dependent on the characteristic of the matrix. Typically, metals are relatively immobile in subsurface systems and are retained in the solid phase by different mechanisms (ion exchange, outer- and innersphere surface complexation/adsorption, precipitation or co-precipitation) [38]. 

Carboamination reactions have been classified into two types depending on the mode of reaction in the first case, the reaction proceeds via the formation of 1) an outersphere aminopalladation complex like the PdX2-aIkene complex via oxidative addition, which in the next step reacts with the amine and an external electrophile to afford the cyclized product. In a type II mechanism, the reaction takes place through the formation of 2) an innersphere complex where the Pd(0) catalyst forms the complex with an electrophile, e.g., aryl haUde via oxidative addition. Then, it reacts with the amine to form the Pd(Ar) amide complex, which eventually gets converted into the product via the alkene insertion and C—C bond-forming reductive elimination. Here, it is noteworthy that, in a type I reaction, the addition across the olefinic bond took place in rarri-fashion, whereas the 5y -addition mode was observed in case of the type It mechanism (Scheme 40.1). ...
