Summary Rate constants are reported for the replacement of chloride by bromide in the complex [Au(Et4dien-H)+ in methanol-water mixtures. This reaction follows the usual two-term rate law = (kobs = k1 + K2[Br−1]) for square planar complexes in all the mixtures studied. The logarithms of the rate constants correlate with Grunwald-Winstein solvent Y values and yield slopes of 0.32 (k1) and 0.15 (k2). The results suggest that both reaction paths are associative.
