Abstract
Rate constants are reported for substitution at the pentacyanoferrate(II) ions [Fe(CN)5L]3−, where L=3,5-dimethylpyridine or 3-cyanopyridine, in binary aqueous mixed solvents containing up to 60vol% 1,2-ethanediol, 1,2-butanediol, methanol or ethanol. Trends for diol-containing mixtures are compared with those for monohydroxylic alcohols, and the reactivity pattern for these complexes is compared with those established earlier for base hydrolysis of tris(1,10-phenanthroline)iron(II) and for the aquation of cis-dichloro-bis- (1,2-ethanediamine)cobalt(III). The solvatochromic behaviour of several pentacyanoferrate(II) ions has been established in binary aqueous mixtures containing 1,2-ethanediol, 1,2-butanediol, 1,4-butanediol and 1,2-pentanediol. A correlation between reactivity and solvatochromism is presented.
