Ca. Carr et al., The effect of 4 '-substituents on the kinetics of ligand substitution in 2,2 ': 6 ',2 ''-terpyridine platinum(II) complexes, J CHEM R-S, (12), 2000, pp. 566-568
The rates of hydrolysis of five (4'-substituted-2,2':6',2 " -terpyridine) p
latinum(II) (n-propylamine) complexes exhibit a high sensitivity to the ele
ctronic properties of the terpyridine ligand; analysis using the Hammett re
lationship gives a rho value of +2.34.
