Notes:
The reaction of trans-[Cr(Salen)(OH2)2]+ with aqueous sulfite yields trans-[Cr(Salen)(OH2)(OSO2(SINGLEBOND)O)]- (O-bonded isomer). The rate and activation parameter data for the formation of the sulfito complex are consistent with a mechanism involving rate-limiting addition of SO2 to the CrIII(SINGLEBOND)OH bond. The complex ions, trans-[(OH2)Cr(Salen)(OSO2(SINGLEBOND)O)]-, and trans-[(OH)Cr(Salen)(OSO2(SINGLEBOND)O)]2-, undergo reversible anation by NCS-, N3-, imidazole, and pyridine resulting in the formation of trans-[XCr(Salen)(OSO2(SINGLEBOND)O)](N+1)-(n=1 for X=N3-,NCS-, and 0 for X=imidazole and pyridine) predominantly via dissociative interchange mechanism. The labilizing action of the coordinated sulfite on the trans-CrIII-X bond in trans-[XCr(Salen)(OSO2)](n+1)- follows the sequence: NCS-pyridine ca. N3- ca. imidazole. Data analysis indicated that the coordinated sulfite has little trans activating influence. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Int J Chem Kinet 30: 373-384, 1998
