The silver ion induced aquation of [Co(NH3)SC1] (C104)2 has been carried out at SO°C and constant ionic strength (0.80 M). The rate of re­C[Ag]a + [Ag] o and b take the values of SO and 6.3 respectively. Suitable mechanism has been proposed to explain the kinetic data and the significance of the empirical constants a and b are discussed.
