Abstract: The kinetics of nucleophilic substitution reactions between trans-(Ph_2PMe)_2 Ni(C_6Cl_5)Cl and pyridine and various substituted pyridines in ethanol has been studied. In the presence of NH_4Cl (0.004M), the pseudo-first-order rate cons tant can be expressed by
k_(obs)=(k_1′[am]/(k_2/k_3)[Cl~-]+([am])+k_(am)′[am])
The rate constants and their corresponding activation parameters have been measu red and a reaction mechanism is proposed. The results show that the rate of sub stitution reactions is primarily governed by steric effect rather rather than the basicity of the entering group.
