Abstract: In this paper the kinetics for COsubstitution by PPh3of M(CO)5(M=Fe,Ru,Os) in the presence of catalytic promoter, (CH3)3NO is reported. The rates of reaction are first-order in concentrations of M(CO)Sand of (CH3)3NO but zero-order in PPh3concentration. The reaction rates show an approximate overall four-fold increase in the order Fe < Ru < Os. This is a contrast to the roughly fourty-fold decrease in rate in the order Fe > Ru > Os for the corresponding metal carbonyl cluster, M3(CO)12.
