Trans effect and influence, in sulfoxide complexes

The kinetics and mechanism of ligand substitution reactions of square-planar platinum(II) dimethyl sulfoxide complexes have been exhaustively studied (173), and these workers conclude that the cis and trans influences and the trans effects of Me2SO and ethylene are similar in magnitude whereas the cis effect of Me2SO is about 100 times as large as that of ethylene. The results for reaction (5), where the stability constants, Kt, are reported to be 1.5 x 108 (L = S-Me2SO) and 4.5 x 108 (L = ethylene) corroborate this analogy (213).
