The kinetics of the interaction of three glycine-containing dipeptides, namely, glycine-L-leucine (Gly-Leu), glycine-L-isoleucine (Gly-Ile), and glycine-valine (Gly-Val) with [Pt(en)(H 2 O) 2 ](ClO 4 ) 2 has been studied spectrophotometrically as a function of [substrate complex], [dipeptides] and temperature at a particular pH(4.0), where the substrate complex exists predominantly as the diaqua species and the dipeptides as a zwitterion. The substitution reaction shows two consecutive steps; the first is the ligand-assisted anation and the second is the chelation step. The activation parameters for both the steps were evaluated using Eyring's equation. The low H
