Abstract

Pyridine
We examine terminal acetate substitution at the [Mo.sub.3([mu].sub.3-O).sub.2([mu]-O.sub.2CCH.sub.3).sub.6(I*-O.sub.2CCH.sub.3).sub.3].sup.- anion. When the solvent is D.sub.2O or methanol-d.sub.4, we find that substitution follows the predicted D or I.sub.D pathway yet in the presence of acetic acid-d.sub.4, observed activation parameters point towards a more complex mechanism involving hydrolysis of the acetate ligand.
