Henry Taube, the 1983 Nobel Prize winner in chemistry, has studied the mechanisms of oxidationreduction reactions involving transition metal complexes. In one experiment he and his students studied the following reaction: Cr(H2O)6 21(aq) 1 Co(NH3)5Cl21(aq) 88n Cr(III) complexes 1 Co(II) complexes Chromium(III) and cobalt(III) complexes are substitutionally inert (no exchange of ligands) under conditions of the experiment. However, chromium(II) and cobalt(II) complexes can exchange ligands very rapidly. One of the products of the reaction is Cr(H2O)5Cl21. Is this consistent with the reaction proceeding through formation of (H2O)5CrOClOCo(NH3)5 as an intermediate? Explain your answer.
