Abstract

Enthalpies have been obtained for substitution in aquopentaammineruthenium(II) by acetonitrile, imidazole, pyridine, thiodiethanol, pentaammine(pyrazine)ruthenium(II) ion, isonicotinamide, pyrazine, N-methylpyrazinium ion, dimethylsulfoxide, and carbon monoxide, by using a batch microcalorimeter. The values are-9.2,-9.3,-12.7,-13.7,-13.8,-15.3,-16.8,-18.0,-19.2, and-38.3 kcal mol-1, respectively. Enthalpies also were obtained for the protonation of pentaammine(pyrazine)ruthenium(II) ion (-4.9 kcal mol-1) and for the comproportionation of [((NH3)5Ru)2pyr]5+(-3.9 kcal mol-1). The enthalpies for the association of pentaammine(pyrazine)ruthenium(II) ion with H+and aquopentaammine ruthenium(II) are compared with published values for Ni2+(aq), Cu2+(aq), and Zn2+(aq).
