The kinetics of the reactions between Cp2Ni2(CO)2 (Cp = cyclopentadienyl) and mono- and bidentate ligands have been studied. The reaction with monodentate ligands proceeds by an SN2 mechanism, but the reaction with bidentate (acetylenic) ligands appears to be a two-stage mechanism with a reversible, first-order process as rate-determining step. The more probable mechanisms are discussed on the basis of the values of the activation parameters and the steric hindrance of the ligand.
