The kinetics of the thermal insertion of SnC1, and SnBr, into the metal-metal bond of , have been studied. On the basis of the kinetic data a bimolecular mechanism, involving direct attack of the tin(I1) halide on the nickel dimer, has been proposed. The thermal insertion with tin(I1) bromide
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
