Table 1.
Summary of the specified ligand loss rates from 3 as a function of pyridine concentration in CD2Cl2. Data confirms pyridine loss is dissociative and that both hydride site interchange and H2 loss occurs after this step.
No. of py eq. by NMR ratio | Rate of py loss / s −1 | Rate of H2 loss / s −1 |
---|---|---|
15 | 0.28 ± 0.03 | 0.078 ± 0.003 |
25 | 0.28 ± 0.03 | 0.071 ± 0.003 |
30 | 0.31 ± 0.01 | 0.053 ± 0.002 |
50 | 0.28 ± 0.03 | 0.042 ± 0.002 |
