Summary
The reactions of [Fe(bipym)3]2+ and [Ru(bipym)3]2+ with hydroxide ion in aqueous solution have been followed. The [Ru(bipym)3]2+ species undergoes nucleophilic attack at the ligand to yield [Ru(bipym)2(pyrimidine)(OH)]+ and [HCO2]− ion, involving cleavage of one pyrimidyl ring. Intermediates can be observed in the reaction of [Fe(bipym)3]2+ with HO−, N3 − and SCN−. The kinetics of the first reaction have been followed and the results are compared with those known for the reactions of [Fe(bipy)3]2+, [Fe(phen)3]2+ and similar compounds.
