Nucleophilic Discrimination and the trans Effect. The Kinetics of Displacement of X from trans-n- (L=Me2SO, Et2S, PMe3, PEt3, PPh3, or AsEt3; X=Cl, n=1; X=MeOH, n=0) by Neutral and Anionic Nucleophiles

The kinetics of the reaction trans-n- + L' trans-n'- + X (X=Cl-, n=1, L=Me2SO, Et2S, PMe3, PEt3, PPh3, or AsEt3, L'=pyridine (py), Me2S, Et2S, PPh3, Me2SO, thiourea (tu), or NNN'N'-tetramethylthiourea (tmtu), n'=0; L'=Cl-, Br-, I-, or SCN-, n'=1; X=MeOH, n=0, L'=Cl-, Br-, I-, or SCN-, n'=1) have been studied in 95percent methanol and 5percent water at 25 deg C.The second-order rate constants, k2, for the anionic substrates do not follow the usual dependence upon n0Pt, the anionic nucleophiles being much less reactive than predicted.A new nucleophilicity scale, based on - as standard substrate, does give linear relationships for all the anionic substrates.The relationship between the nucleophilic discrimination and the nature of the trans ligand is discussed.
