Chronovoltammetric Method Use of Kinetic Study of Trans-Cis Isomerization of Complex Compounds
摘要
A chronovoltammetric method for studying the kinetics of trans-cis isomerization of coordination metal compounds is proposed, using the example of a bis(glycinate) complex of palladium(II). It is shown that the isomerization of trans-[Pd(gly)2] to cis-[Pd(gly)2] is described by first-order kinetics; the rate constant (k = 1.08·10–4 s–1) and the half-life (t1/2 = 107 min) were determined. It has been established that isomerization follows an intramolecular mechanism characteristic of square planar complexes, without changing the coordination number.
