Other Reactions of Inorganic Ligands

7 Other Reactions of Inorganic Ligands Triphenylphosphine removes one sulphur atom from the thiocumato-complex (12), giving triphenylphosphine sulphide, SPPhg. The reaction is second-order, with an activation energy of 7.8 1.0 kcal mol-.  

The solvolysis of [Cr(CN)6(NO)] in dimethyl sulphoxide is induced by alkyl halides, for example methyl iodide or t-butyl chloride. The mechanism is

Several other references deal with nitric oxide, either as a co-ordinated nitrosyl ligand or as the free molecule reacting with some other co-ordinated ligand. Thus the forward and reverse rate constants and activation parameters have been determined for the reaction of sulphite with nitroprusside  

The oxidation of co-ordinated NO to NOg was recently reported for an organo-metallic osmium compound
