The Kinetics of the Thermal Insertion Reaction of Tin(II) Halides with Cyclopentadienylnickel Carbonyl Dimer
Keyword(s):
The kinetics of the thermal insertion of SnCl2 and SnBr2 into the metal–metal bond of [π-C5H5NiCO]2 have been studied. On the basis of the kinetic data a bimolecular mechanism, involving direct attack of the tin(II) halide on the nickel dimer, has been proposed. The thermal insertion with tin(II) bromide was found to proceed with an activation enthalpy of 19.4 ± 0.2 kcal/mol and an activation entropy of −8.8 ± 0.4 cal deg−1 mol−1. For the thermal insertion with tin(II) chloride a ΔH≠ and ΔS≠ of 22.5 ± 0.2 kcal/mol and −4.0 ± 0.2 cal deg−1 mol−1, respectively, were observed.
