Abstract The kinetics of base hydrolysis ofthe cis ‐(chloro)‐(benzimidazole) bis (ethylenediamine) cobalt(III) ion was investigated in Methanol‐water and Ethyleneglycol‐water media of varying compositions and at isodielectric conditions( D s ≃ 61 at 25°C) in isopropanol‐ and Acetonitrile‐water media at 35°C in the pH range, 7.2–8.9. It is of interesttonote that the aquation rate constant of the conjugate base, cis ‐[Co(en) 2 (bzm)Cl] + (Bzm = N H deprotonated benzimidazole, en = ethylenediamine) is virtually insensitive to the compositions of the mixed solvents studied, unlike the aquation rate constant of the conjugate acid form of the title complex. This is indicative of a true dissociative mode of activation ( D cb ) of the conjugate base.
