Carbonyl exchange between [MX(3)((CO)-C-13)](-) (MX = PdCl, PtCl or Pt
Br) and (CO)-C-12 has been studied by IR and C-13 NMR spectroscopies a
s a function of temperature. The exchange is first-order in both CO an
d complex concentration, and the activation entropies are negative, su
ggesting an associative reaction mechanism. There is a small solvent e
ffect. but no chloride dependence. Activation parameters and rate cons
tants, in the order Delta H-double dagger/kJ mol(-1), Delta S-double d
agger/J K-1 mol(-1), k(ex)(298)/dm(3) mol(-1) s(-1), are for [PdCl3(CO
)](-) 60 +/- 8, -47 +/- 30, 0.57 +/- 0.07; for [PtCl3(CO)](-) 60 +/- 7
. -91 +/- 22, (3.3 +/- 0.3) x 10(-3) and for [PtBr3(CO)](-) 49 +/- 6,
-104 +/- 19, (6.0 + 0.2) x 10(-2) (95% confidence interval). This is t
hree to six orders of magnitude slower than ethene exchange in analogo
us ethene halide complexes.
