Volumes of activation for kinetically labile organometallic complexes: solvent displacement from cis-[(C6H5Cl)(PPh2R)W(CO)4][R = Ph, (CH2)4CHCH2] in chlorobenzene solution

Abstract
Large, positive, and similar volumes of activation, indicative of dissociative desolvation mechanisms, have been observed for chlorobenzene displacement by pyridien and through chelate ring closure, respectively, from cis-[(C6H5Cl)(PPh2R)W(CO)4] complexes [R = Ph, (CH2)4CCH2] produced via pulsed laser flash photolysis.
