Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/ja00216a013

Reported are the rates of reaction and activation parameters for CO substitution reactions of M//3(CO)//1//2 (M equals Fe, Ru, Os) with L (L equals PPh//3, P(OPh)//3, AsPh//3) in the presence of (CH//3)//3NO. In aprotic solvents the reactions are too fast
