Abstract

A distinctly negative reaction volume (−16.4 ± 1.6 cm3 mol−1) characterizes reaction (a), which involves an almost pressure‐independent bond formation and a highly pressure‐decelerated bond breakage process. This indicates that pressure assists the formation of the cobalt–carbon σ‐bond by shifting the overall equilibrium to the right with increasing pressure. These results are discussed in terms of ligand substitution of CoII and homolysis of CoIII‐complexes, respectively (nta = nitrilotriacetate). (Formula Presented.)
