Abstract

Water-exchange mechanisms for the complexes [Zn(H2O) 4L]2+2H2O, L =NH3, NH 2CH3, NH(CH3)2, and N(CH 3)3, have been studied by density functional theory calculations (B3LYP/6311+G**). The water-exchange reactions follow an associative (A) pathway involving formation of a six-coordinate intermediate [Zn(H2O)5L]2+H 2O. Electronic and steric effects of the amine ligands influence the activation barrier and the stability of the six-coordinate intermediate. © CSIRO 2010.
