Rapid ligand substitution reactions in ionic liquids studied by stopped-flow technique.
Detailed kinetic studies on ligand substitution reactions of [M(II)(terpy)Cl](+) complexes (M = Pt, Pd; terpy = 2,2':6',2''-terpyridine) with thiourea as entering nucleophile were for the first time performed in the imidazolium based ionic liquid [emim][NTf(2)] using stopped-flow techniques, opening the route to study fast reactions of transition metal complexes in ionic liquids.
