7.3.4 Activation Parameters<br />

The temperature dependence <strong>of</strong> the rate constant, k2, was studied over the range 15-<br />

35°C in increments <strong>of</strong> 5 °C. Figures 7.9 & 7.10 (also Figures S7.3-S7.4, S7.8-S7.9, S7.13-<br />

S7.14, S7.19-S7.20, and S7.28-S7.29, for the corresponding complexes EnPt, PropPt,<br />

ButPt, HexPt and DecPt, Appendix 7) show the representative Eyring plots, for the<br />

reaction <strong>of</strong> OctPt with the different nucleophiles. The corresponding activation<br />

parameters ΔH ≠ and ΔS ≠ in Table 7.3, were calculated using the Eyring equation.<br />
