The rates of self-exchange for several systems of the class MCp/sub 2/X/sup +//Cp/sub 2/, where M is Ru or Os and X is Cl, Br, or I, have been measured by the NMR line-broadening method. For each metal, the rates increase along the halogen series as given above and are more rapid for M = Ru than for the osmium analogues. In consideration of these data, the possibility is raised that these 2e self-exchange reactions and those of other metal ions take place by 1e steps.
