The trans effect and trans influence of triphenyl arsine in platinum(II) complexes. A comparative mechanistic and structural study
The kinetics and mechanism of the reaction between [PtI3(AsPh3)](-) and pyridine in acetonitrile solvent has been studied by use of stopped-flow spectrophotometry. Substitution of iodide trans to arsine is irreversible under the conditions used and takes place via parallel direct and solvolytic pathways. By comparing the rate constants of the direct pathway with literature values of the correspond
