Abstract
A summary of published work on the kinetics of dissociation of iron(II )-diimine complexes in aqueous or aqueous solvent mixtures in the pres ence of acid or base is presented. There is an emphasis on the use of the volume of activation as a means of addressing questions of mechani sm and solvation. This account indicates that available results can be interpreted to show that dissociation proceeds by an associative mode of activation in a basic medium and by a dissociative path in acidic solution.
