Title: Variable-temperature and variable-pressure NMR kinetic study of solvent exchange on Ru(H/sub 2/O)/sub 6//sup 3+/, Ru(H/sub 2/O)/sub 6//sup 2+/, and Ru(CH/sub 3/CN)/sub 6//sup 2+1,2/

Water exchange on ruthenium(II) and ruthenium(III) was studied by /sup 17/O NMR and acetonitrile exchanges on ruthenium(II) was studied by /sup 1/H NMR spectroscopy as a function of temperature and pressure. The kinetic parameters reported for Ru(II) imply that the solvent exchange on Ru/sup 2+/ occurs via an interchange I mechanism for both H/sub 2/O and CH/sub 3/CN. The kinetic parameters are also reported for Ru(III). These data are conclusive for an associative interchange I/sub a/ mechanism for water exchange on Ru(H/sub 2/O)/sub 6//sup 3+/ but for an I mechanism on the deprotonated species Ru(H/sub 2/O)/sub 5/(OH)/sup 2+/. These mechanistic results for low-spin ruthenium solvates are compared to those of other di- and trivalent transition-metal ions. 39 references, 8 figures, 5 tables.
