Studies of Ligand Substitution Reactions on Hexacyanoferrate(II)

This book provides a detail literature survey of types of ligand substitution reaction and various methods to determine mercury by different techniques. A kinetic study has been taken out followed by postulation of reaction mechanisms in potassium hexacyanoferrate(II) and 2-methylpyrazine (2-Mepz). The reaction was studied in presence of Hg(II) catalyst and in absence of catalyst by U V spectrophotometer. This reaction has been used as a tool to quantify mercury and some organosulfur compounds in environmental water samples. A detailed study has been done to see the inhibition effect of 2,3-dimercaptopropanol on Hg catalysed, substitution of CN- by 2-methylpyrazine in potassium hexacyanoferrate(II)
