(..cap alpha..-Benzil dioximato-1)(..cap alpha..-benzil dioximato-2)di(pyridine)iron(III) in the form of the diacetone solvate (II) is spontaneously converted at room temperature into (..cap alpha..-benzil dioximato-1)(..cap alpha..-benzil dioximato-2)di(pyridine)iron(II) (III). The quantitative composition of a sample containing complexes II and III has been determined as a function of the temperature and the time by gamma-resonance spectroscopy, which made it possible to investigate the kinetics of this reaction. The changes obtained in the percentage of complex II in the sample as a function of time at a given temperature was treated with the use of the Kolmogorov-Erofeev equation for a topochemical reaction of the type A/sub s/ ..-->.. B/sub s/ + C/sub g/. The rate constants of the reaction at various temperatures and the activation energy *E have been determined. In the temperature range from 293 to 304/sup 0/K *E = 25.6 kcal/mole. The possibilities of gamma-resonance spectroscopy in the investigation of topochemical reactions associated with changes in the oxidation state of iron ions have been demonstrated.
