TL;DR: In this paper, the aquation of a series of [Cr2Fe(µ3-O)µ2-(RCO2)6(H2O)3]+ cations was investigated in aqueous perchloric acid, 0.01 ≤ [H+] ≤ 0.17 mol dm−3 and 25 ≤ θ ≤ 35°C.
Abstract: The aquation of a series of [Cr2Fe(µ3-O)µ2-(RCO2)6(H2O)3]+ cations, where R = H, CH3, CH3CH2, and (CH3)2CH was investigated in aqueous perchloric acid, 0.01 ≤ [H+] ≤ 0.17 mol dm−3 and 25 ≤ θ ≤ 35°C. The mechanism is postulated as an equilibrium between the protons and the complex cation, where the oxygens of the carboxylate coordinated to the metal center are protonated, followed by Fe–O bond cleavage. This is followed by rapid decomposition to produce aqueous iron(III), a dinuclear chromium(III) species (which is further hydrolyzed), and carboxylate ions. First-order rate constants for the reactions at 25°C and 0.5 mol dm−3 ionic strength (NaClO4) and corresponding activation parameters are: R = (CH3)2CH; k 1 = (7.18 ± 0.07) × 10−5 s−1 (ΔH ‡= 52 ± 2 kJ mol−1, ΔS ‡= −151 ± 8 J K−1 mol−1), R = CH3CH2; k 1 = (13.67 ± 0.02) × 10−5 s−1 (ΔH ‡= 57.8 ± 0.6 kJ mol−1, ΔS ‡= −125 ± 2 J K−1 mol−1), R = CH3; k 1 = (17.6 ± 0.3) × 10−5 s−1 (ΔH ‡= 30 ± 5 kJ mol−1, ΔS ‡= −216 ± 16 J K−1 mol−1), R = H; k 1 = (3.86 ± 3.01)...

TL;DR: In this paper, first-order kinetics have been observed, with the rate constant (1.16 × 10−4 s−1 at 25 °C) in 2 mol dm−3 HCl some 60 times less than for the corresponding reaction of [Mo2O4(edta)]2
Abstract: The aquation of [W2O4(edta)]2–(edta = ethylenediaminetetra-acetate) to W2O42+(or a closely related species) proceeds to completion in HCl 2 mol dm–3. First-order kinetics have been observed, with the rate constant (1.16 × 10–4 s–1 at 25 °C) in 2 mol dm–3 HCl some 60 times less than for the corresponding reaction of [Mo2O4(edta)]2–. With HClO4 2 mol dm–3 aquation is accompanied by oxidation to WVI. No aquation (or oxidation) has been observed with HClO4 107 dm3 mol–1 s–1 respectively. For the [IrCl6]2– reaction activation parameters are ΔH‡= 5.4 kcal mol–1 and ΔS‡=–13.8 cal K–1 mol–1 respectively. Rate constants (dm3 mol–1 s–1) for other oxidants, I= 0.10 mol dm–3, are [Fe(CN)6]3–(0.058), [Co(bipy)3]3+(2.0)(bipy = 2,2′-bipyridine), and I3–(ca. 20). The complex [W2O4(edta)]2– is a much stronger reducing agent than [Mo2O4(edta)]2–.

TL;DR: The activation volumes were obtained for the aquation reactions of [M(RNH2)5L]3+M = Cr, R = Me, L = Me2SO, HCONMe2 or MeCONMe 2.
Abstract: The activation volumes were obtained for the aquation reactions of [M(RNH2)5L]3+(M = Cr, R = Me, L = Me2SO, HCONMe2 or MeCONMe2; M = Rh, R = H or Me, L = Me2SO or HCONMe2); they are in accord with the existence of a dissociative shift in the substitution mechanism, not only with the size of the substituent R, but also with the size of the leaving ligands L.

TL;DR: In this paper, a series of aqueous ethanol and formic acid solvent mixtures were used for tris-(1,10-phenanthroline)iron(II) complexes.
Abstract: Rates of aquation of tris-(1,10-phenanthroline)iron(II) complexes have been determined in series of aqueous ethanol and aqueous formic acid solvent mixtures. Variation of aquation rate with solvent composition for the 5-nitro- and 4,7-dimethyl complexes in the two series of solvents suggests that, in the favourable case of the electron-withdrawing nitro-substituent and of aqueous ethanol as solvent, bond-making between iron and incoming water is of some significance in transition-state formation. An attempt is made to extend the use of the Grunwald–Winstein concept of the relation between reactivity and solvating power of solvents to these inorganic systems.
