Kinetic measurements for the forward reaction Fe(CN)s4-AmPy'-+ Co(edta)-<= Fe(CNh4-AmPf' + Co(edta)2-have been carried out; the rate constant is 2.72 j; O.07M-1S-1, at pH == 8,p = O.lOM LiClO., and T = 1SC. The activation parameters of the reaction were also studied with L\H* = 48.5 ± 2.5 kJmol"and AS· := (-75 ± 4) J K I mol". The mechanism of the reaction is discussed inthe context of the Marcus cross relation for an outer-sphere process.
