Abstract

The reactions of pentaammine(o-fluorobenzoato)-, pentaammine(o-bromo-benzoato)- and pentaammine(o-nitrobenzoato)chromium(III) cations in 0.01 M perchloric acid solution and water have been studied at 21dgC. It was found that the reaction in acid was the release of ammonia but in water it was aquation to the pentaammineaquachromium(III) cation. The aquation rates in water decrease in the order o-fluorobenzoate, o-bromobenzoate and o-nitrobenzoate complexes, suggesting an associative mechanism. © 1987.
