Oxidative Homolysis of Pentaaquoorganochromium(111) Cations Induced by Macrocyclic Nickel( 111) Complexes Tetsuo Katsuyama,' Andreja Bakac,* and James H. Espenson* Received June 29, 1988 The Ni(II1) complexes Ni(~yclam)~+ and Ni( [9]aneN3)?' oxidize the pentaaquoorganochromium(II1) complexes (H20)5CrR2' to Cr" and olefins or alcohols. The rate constants for the oxidation by Ni(cyclam)" have values
