%X The kinetics of acid-promoted hydrolysis reactions of nickel(II) and copper(ll) complexes of the cyclic diamines 1,5-diazocane ( daco ) and 4,4-dimethyl-7-(5,5,7-trimethyl-1,4-diazepan-1-yl)-5-azaheptan-2-ol (pyaz) in NaCl/HCl media ([Cl-] = 2 mol dm-3) are reported. For [Ni( daco )2]2+, beyond small [H+], an acid-limited rate constant of 2.0&#215;10-5 S-l, involving dissociation of the first daco ligand, and for [Cu( daco )2]2+ a similarly acid-limited rate constant of 1.5&#215;10-2 s-l, involving dissociation of the second daco ligand, were measured at 50&#176;C. For [Ni( pyaz )]2+ and [Cu ( pyaz )2+ the rates of the hydrolysis reactions are again acid-limited, effectively independent of acid with rate constant of 1.0&#215;10-2 s-1 for [Ni( pyaz )]2+ while for [Cu( pyaz )]2+ the rate follows the expression kobs , = 6.0&#215;10-2[H+]/(l+4.6[H+]) S-l, both measured at 25&#176;C.
