Study Notes
Square Planar Metal Complexes
- The metal complex that is mainly d8 in square planar coordination is Ni(II) and Pd(II).
- Square planar complexes generally react with a dissociative interchange (I_d) mechanism, which is faster than the dissociative (D) mechanism in octahedral complexes.
- The nucleophilicity of the entering group affects the rate of substitution in square planar metal complexes.
- In the general rate law of substitution reactions at square planar metal complexes, the second part of the rate equation represents the formation of the transition state.
- The reactions of Pt(II) complexes were studied to prove that square planar complexes react with an associative mechanism more than octahedral complexes.
