Kinetic studies in aqueous solution on the replacement of the aqua ligands in cis‐[Cr(BigH) 2 (OH 2 ) 2 ] 3+ (BigH = biguanide, C 2 H 7 N 5 ) by 2,2′‐dipyridyl (dipy) and 1,10‐phenanthroline (phen) forming [Cr(BigH) 2 (AA)] 3+ (AA = dipy or phen) have been made spectrophotometrically. In both the cases the reaction proceeds by a path purely first‐order with respect to the ligand. From the values of the rate constant at four different temperatures, values of the activation parameters, ΔH≠ and ΔS≠, have been evaluated for each system. The results are consistent with a mechanism involving outer‐sphere association of the reactants followed by transformation of the outer‐sphere complex in a dissociative process.
