Kinetics of acid- and iron(III)-catalysed aquation of cis-(salicylato)-(methyl/ethylamine) bis(ethylenediamine)cobalt(III)

Summary The kinetics of spontaneous, acid- and Fe^III-catalysed aquation of cis-[Co(en)₂(RNH₂)(SalH)]²⁺ complexes (R = Me, Et; SalH = C₆H₄(OH)CO _inf2 ^sup- ) were studied in acid perchlorate medium, I = 1.5 mol dm^–3 (NaClO₄) at 70–80°C. The Fe^III-catalysed aquation proceeds via formation of a binuclear species, the evidence of which follows from aquation, complexation and equilibrium studies. The spontaneous aquation rate shows steric acceleration with the increase of the nonlabile amine chain length, while that of acid- and Fe^III-catalysed aquation shows the opposite trend. An attempt is made to explain the discrepancy in the rate on the basis of solvent cosphere effects.     

Kinetics of aquation ofcis- andtrans-chloro-nitrobis-(ethylene-diamine)cobalt(III) ion in binary aqueous mixtures

Kinetics of aquation ofcis- andtrans-[Co(en)₂NO₂Cl]⁺ were investigated in aqueous mixtures of MeOH, EtOH,i-PrOH andt-BuOH at 298.1 K. The values of transfer functions corresponding to the transfer of reactant and activated complex from H₂O to the solvent mixtures were calculated from kinetic measurements and from solubilities of the complex salt. The results of the analysis of solvent effect are discussed in terms of D and I_d mechanisms. TMC 2676     

Kinetics of aquation of cis- and trans-chloro-nitrobis(ethylenediamine) cobalt(III) ion in aqueous mixtures of ethylene carbonate and propylene carbonate

Summary The kinetics of aquation of cis- and trans-[Co(en)₂-NO ₂Cl] ⁺ were investigated in quasi-isodielectric aqueous mixtures of ethylene carbonate (EC) and propylene carbonate (PC) over a range of temperatures. Transfer Gibbs energies of reactant and transition state from H₂O to aqueous mixtures of EC were evaluated from kinetic measurements and the solubilities of the complex salt. An analysis of the solvent effect on the solvation of the initial (IS) and transition (TS) state reveals that their stabilization by non-aqueous cosolvent is due to predominant ion-dipole and dispersion interactions.     

Kinetics and mechanism of oxidation of tris(ethylenediamine)-chromium(III) by N-bromosuccinimide

Summary In aqueous solutions, [Cr(en)₃]³⁺ aquates to [Cr(en)₂-(H₂O) ₂]³⁺. A kinetic study of the oxidation of [Cr(en)₃]³⁺ by N-bromosuccinimide (NBS) in aqueous solutions and water-alcohol solvent mixtures was performed. The reaction is first order with respect to both total [Cr^III] and [NBS]. The rate is inversely dependent upon [H⁺] in the 7.0–7.9 pH range, and varies with the co-solvent according to the order: MeOH > EtOH > PrOH. An appropriate mechanism, in which the deprotonated [Cr(en)₂(OH)(H₂O)]²⁺ is the reactive species, is suggested. Thermodynamic activation parameters have been calculated.Abstracted from the PhD thesis (Ain Shams University) of A. E.- D. M. Abdel-Hady.     

Effect of solvent on the reactions of coordination complexes part VII: Kinetics of solvolysis of cis-(bromo) (imidazole) bis-(ethylenediamine)cobalt (III) and cis-(bromo) (N-methyl imidazole)bis-(ethylenediamine) cobalt(III) in methanol-water media

The kinetics of the solvolytic aquation of cis-(Bromo) (imidazole) bis(ethylenediamine) cobalt (III) and cis-(Bromo) (N-methylimidazole) bis(ethylenediamine) cobalt(III) have been investigated in aqueous methanol media with methanol content 0–80% by weight and at temperatures 40–55°C. The pseudo-first order rate constant decreases with increasing methanol content. Plots of log k vs. D (where D_s is the bulk-dielectric constant of the solvent mixture) and log k vs. the Grunwald-Winstein Y-solvent parameter are nonlinear, the curvature of the plots is relatively more significant for the imidazole complex. The plots of log k vs. molfraction of methanol (X_MeOH) for both the substrates also deviate from linearity, the deviation being less and less marked, particularly for the N-methyl imidazole complex, as the temperature is increased. Hence preferential solvation phenomenon appears to be less significant when the N-H proton of imidazole is replaced by -CH₃ group. The plots of calculated values of the transfer free energy of the dissociative transition state, cis-{[(en)₂Co(B)]³⁺}* (B = imidazole, N-methylimidazole), relative to that of the initial state, cis-[Co(en)₂(B)Br]²⁺, for the transfer of the ions from water to the mixed solvent, against X_MeOH exhibit maxima at X_MeOH = 0.06, 0.27, and 0.12, 0.36 and minima at X_MeOH = 0.12 and 0.19 for cis-[(en)₂Co(imH)Br]²⁺ and its N-methylimidazole analogue respectively which are in keeping with the solvent structural changes around the initial state and transition state of these substrates as the solvent composition is varied. Plots of activation enthalpy and entropy against molfraction of the solvent mixtures exhibit maxima and minima. This type of variations of the activation parameters, ΔH^≠ and ΔS^≠, with X_MeOH speaks of the enthalpy and entropy changes associated with the solvent-shell reorganization of the complex ions both in the initial and in the transition states which contribute appreciably to the overall activation enthalpy and entropy of the aquation reaction.     

Solubilities and Gibbs transfer energies of thiolato,sulfenato, sulfinato and tris(ethylenediamine)cobalt(III) complexes,as well as of perchlorate,from acetonitrile into its mixtures with water

Information on the solvation of thiolato complex cations [Co(en)₂(SCH₂COO)]⁺ [Co(en)₂(SCH₂CH(COO)NH₂)]⁺, [Co(en)₂(SCH₂CH₂NH₂)]²⁺, sulfenato complexes [Co(en)₂(SOCH₂COO)]⁺ [Co(en)₂{SOCH₂CH(COO)NH₂}]⁺, [Co(en)₂(SOCH₂CH₂NH₂)]²⁺, the sulfinato [Co(en)₂{SO₂CH₂CH(COO)NH₂}]⁺, [Co(en)₂(SO₂CH₂CH₂NH₂)]²⁺ as well as of [Co(en)₃]³⁺ has been obtained from solubility measurements in MeCN–H₂O mixtures at 298.2 K. The single-ion Gibbs energies of transfer of the Co^III complexes were derived from the solubilities of picrate and perchlorate salts for the full range of MeCN–H₂O mixtures. Single-ion Gibbs energies of transfer for the perchlorate ion are given. The effects of the solvent mixtures were interpreted in the framework of chemical bond formation between the ions and the individual solvent molecules.     

Kinetics and mechanism of acid and base hydrolysis ofcis-chloro-(benzotriazole)bis(ethylenediamine)cobalt(III) andcis-chloro-(N-methylbenzotriazole)bis(ethylenediamine)cobalt(III) cations

Summary The kinetics of acid hydrolysis ofcis-[CoCl(btzH)(en)₂]²⁺ andcis-[CoCl(btzMe)(en)₂]²⁺ complexes (where btzH = benzotriazole, btzMe =N-methylbenzotriazole and en = ethylenediamine) have been investigated in HClO₄ at ionic strength 1 = 0.25 mol dm^–3 in the 30–40° range. In the 1.0 x 10^–1 to 1.0 X 10^–3 mol dm^–3 acid strength range, the rate of aquation of the [CoCl(btzH)(en)₂]²⁺ cation follows the relationship:-d ln[complex]/dt = k₁ + k₂K_NH[^H+]^–1, where k₁ and k₂ are aquation rate constants of the acid independent and acid dependent steps respectively, and K_NH is the acid dissociation constant of the coordinated benzotriazole.cis-[CoCl(btzMe)-(en)₂]²⁺ undergoes acid independent hydrolysis presumably due to the absence of a labile N-H proton. The base hydrolysis could be followed for thecis-[CoCl(btzMe)(en)₂]²⁺ complex only by measuring hydrolysis rates at 0°.     

Kinetics and mechanism of hydrolysis ofcis-bis(ethylenediamine)imidazole(salicylato)cobalt(III) ion

Summary The kinetics of aquation and base hydrolysis reactions ofcis-[(en)₂Co(imH)O₂CC₆H₄OH-o-o]²⁺ (imH = imidazole) have been investigated in a medium of 1.0 M ionic strength, In the 0,1–1,0 M [H⁺] range (60–70°) aquation proceedsvia spontaneous and acid catalysed paths . In the 0,05–1.0 M [OH^–] range (30–40°), the complex exists predominantly as the bis-deprotonated species,cis-[(en)₂Co(im)O₂CC₆H₄O-o], and the pseudo-first-order rate constant fits the relationship k_obs = k_b + k_b° [OH^–] satisfactorily. The labilizing action of coordinated imidazolate anion(im^–) on the cobalt(III)-bound salicylate is 10³ times stronger than that of imidazole. The mechanism is essentially I_d in the aquation paths and SN₁cb (Co-O bond fission) in the alkali independent and dependent paths respectively.     

Synthesis and kinetics of the acid hydrolysis of the monothiooxalato-S,O-bis(ethylenediamine)chromium(III) complex

Cis-[Cr(en)₂(SC₂O₃)]Cl·H₂O has been synthesized by a new method involving the reaction of cis-[Cr(en)₂Cl₂]Cl with K₂SC₂O₃ at 60°C and the kinetics of the acidic aquation of this complex have been studied. The complex has been characterized by IR and electronic spectroscopic techniques. The aquation of the purified product was carried out at 30, 40 and 50°C in acidic media at constant ionic strength. The experimental result indicates a pH-dependent aquation of the compound in HCl solutions to yield H₂S and ethylenediamine. The plot of the rate of the reaction versus the square of the proton concentration, [H⁺]², produces a straight line giving the pseudo-first-order rate constant, k_obs. Activation energies were found to be proportional with the entropies in various acidic solutions. The “isokinetic temperature” of 285 K and the free energy of activation, ΔG‡ = 94.7 kJ mol⁻¹, were determined from the linear relationship. The results of experiments for the aquation of this compound suggest a mechanism through formation of a conjugate acid of an asymmetric atom, and the Cr---S bond cleavage is considered as the rate determining step.

Kinetics of substitution reactions of transition metal complexes in 1,3-dioxolan-2-one + water and 4-methyl-1,3-dioxolan-2-one + water solvent mixtures

Summary Rate constants are reported and discussed for several substitutions of inorganic complexes in ethylene carbonate (1,3-dioxolan-2-one) + water and in propylene carbonate (4-methyl-1,3-dioxolan-2-one) + water solvent mixtures. The reactions include aquation ofcis- and oftrans-[Co(en)₂Cl₂]⁺, aquation oftrans-[Cr(OH₂)₄Cl₂]⁺, bromide substitution at [Pd(Et₄dien)Cl]⁺, thiourea substitution atcis-[Pt(4-NCpy)₂Cl₂], and aquation and cyanide attack at [Fe(X-phen)₃]²⁺ cations.     

Kinetics of aquation and base hydrolysis ofcis-(carboxylato) (ethylamine)bis(ethylenediamine)cobalt(III) ions

Summary The aquation ofcis-[Co(en)₂(NH₂Et)O₂CR]²⁺ [R=H or Me] is strongly acid-catalysed and the rate and activation parameters for this process are reported. No significant rate difference is observed in the spontaneous aquation path for the complexes. The acetato complex undergoes acid catalysed aquation at a rate comparable to the of the corresponding formato complex, in contrast with the relative basicities of the coordinated formate and acetate. This result is interpreted in terms of relative solvation effects of the initial and transition states of both complexes.The base hydrolysis of both complexes obeys overall second order kinetics in the 0.05[OH^–]_T 0.35 mol dm^–3 range (I=0.5 mol dm^–3). The formato complex reacts five times faster than its acetato analogue under comparable conditions, which is fully consistent with the dissociative mode of activation of the amido conjugate base involving Co–O bond heterolysis. A substantially large positive value for the activation entropy supports SN₁CB mechanism for base hydrolysis.

[(en)₂Co(O₂, OH)Co(en)₂]³⁺ ( a ) reacts with I^? in acidic aqueous solution according to: Co^III(O₂, OH)Co^III + 21^? + 5H⁺ ? 2Co^III + 3H₂O + I₂. Using I^? in excess first order rate constants are obtained which, to a first approximation, are independent of [I^?]. Comparison with kinetic data of deoxygenation of [(en)₂Co(O₂, OH)Co(en)₂]³⁺ under analogous conditions suggests that both reactions have the same rate determining step. The singly bridged species [(en)₂(H₂O)CoO₂Co(H₂O) (en)₂]⁴⁺ is shown to be the reactive intermediate in the iodide oxidation (Schema 2).     

Initial state and transition state contributions to reactivity in mercury(II)-catalysed aquation of thetrans-[Rh(en)2Cl2]+, [Cr(NH3)5Cl]2+, andcis-[Cr(NH3)4(OH2)Cl]2+ cations in binary aqueous solvent mixtures

Summary Rate constants are reported for mercury(II)-catalysed aquation of thetrans-[Rh(en)₂Cl₂]⁺, [Cr(NH₃)₅Cl]²⁺, andcis-[Cr(NH₃)₄(OH₂)Cl]²⁺ cations in water and in methanol-, ethanol-, and acetonitrile-water solvent mixtures. In the case oftrans-[Rh(en)₂Cl₂]⁺, the dependence of rate constants on mercury(II) concentration indicates reaction through a binuclear (Rh-Cl-Hg bridged) intermediate. The dependence of the equilibrium constant for the formation of this intermediate and of its rate constant for dissociation (loss of HgCl⁺) on solvent composition have been established. With the aid of measured solubilities, published ancillary thermodynamic data, and suitable extrathermodynamic assumptions, the observed reactivity trends for these mercury(II)-catalysed aquations are dissected into initial state and transition state components. The reactivity patterns for these three complexes are compared with those for mercury(II)-catalysed aquation of other chloro-transition metal complexes, particularlycis-[Rh(en)₂Cl₂]⁺, [Co(NH₃)₅Cl]²⁺, and [ReCl₆]^2–.     

Kinetics and mechanism of the oxidation of chromium(III)–dipicolinic acid complex by N-bromosuccinimide

The kinetics of oxidation of the chromium(III)–dipicolinic acid complex [Cr^III(DPA)₂(H₂O)₂]^– by N-bromosuccinimide (NBS) in aqueous solution to Cr^VI have been studied spectrophotometrically over the 20–40 °C range. The reaction is first order with respect to both [NBS] and [Cr^III], and increases with pH over the 5.92–6.93 range. Thermodynamic activation parameters were calculated. It is proposed that electron transfer proceeds through an inner-sphere mechanism via coordination of [NBS] to chromium(III).     

Two-step one-electron transfer reaction of chromium(III) complex containing levodopa and uridine with N-bromosuccinimide

[Cr^III(LD)(Urd)(H₂O)₄](NO₃)₂?·?3H₂O (LD?=?Levodopa; Urd?=?uridine) was prepared and characterized. The product of the oxidation reaction was examined using HPLC. Kinetics of the oxidation of [Cr^III(LD)(Urd)(H₂O)₄]²⁺ with N-bromosuccinimide (NBS) in an aqueous solution was studied spectrophotometrically, with 1.0–5.0?×?10^?4?mol?dm^?3 complex, 0.5–5.0?×?10^?2?mol?dm^?3 NBS, 0.2–0.3?mol?dm^?3 ionic strength (I), and 30–50°C. The reaction is first order with respect to [Cr^III] and [NBS], decreases as pH increases in the range 5.46–6.54 and increases with the addition of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS, 0.0–1.0?×?10^?3?mol?dm^?3). Activation parameters including enthalpy, ΔH*, and entropy, ΔS*, were calculated. The experimental rate law is consistent with a mechanism in which the protonated species is more reactive than its conjugate base. It is assumed that the two-step one-electron transfer takes place via an inner-sphere mechanism. A mechanism for this reaction is proposed and supported by an excellent isokinetic relationship between ΔH* and ΔS* for some Cr^III complexes. Formation of [Cr^III(LD)(Urd)(H₂O)₄]²⁺ in vivo probably occurs with patients who administer the anti-Parkinson drug (Levodopa), since Cr^III is a natural food element. This work provides an opportunity to identify the nature of such interactions in vivo similar to that in vitro.     

Salt and medium effects in the aquation ofcis-amminebromobis(ethylenediamine)cobalt(III) ion

Summary The aquation kinetics ofcis-[Co(NH₃)Br(en)₂]²⁺ were studied in aqueous and mixed aqueous-nonaqueous solvents in the presence of KBr, KCl, LiCl, NaNO₃ and NaClO₄ as supporting electrolytes. It was found that the association between the complex ion and Cl^–, Br^– and NO ₃ ^– ions takes place. The association constants, K_IP, were evaluated from kinetic measurements. The kinetic parameters in the studied media are related to the influence of the cosolvents on the solvation spheres of the reactants and activated complex.     

Binuclear Homoleptic Manganese(III,III) and Manganese(IV,III) Complexes with Deprotonated D-Mannose from Aqueous Solution

Just a “reducing” sugar —namely, D -mannose—is a starting material in the synthesis of a mixed-valence complex of manganese in the oxidation states +III and +IV . Ba₂[Mn^IIIMn^IV(β-D -ManfH₋₅)₂]Cl⋅14 H₂O (Manf=mannofuranose; the structure of the anion is shown on the right) is prepared in aqueous solution by oxidation of an analogous Mn₂^III complex with oxygen. In neutral solutions the Mn^IIIMn^IV binuclear complex is formed by disproportionation of the Mn₂^III precursor.     

Kinetics and mechanism of oxidation of iodide with a (μ‐oxo)diiron(III,III) complex in weakly acidic media

The complex ion [Fe^III₂(μ‐O)(phen)₄(H₂O)₂]⁴⁺ ( 1 ) (phen = 1,10‐phenanthroline) and its hydrolytic derivatives [Fe^III₂(μ‐O)(phen)₄(H₂O)(OH)]³⁺ ( 1a ) and [Fe^III₂(μ‐O)(phen)₄‐ (OH)₂]²⁺ ( 2a ) coexist in rapid equilibria in the range pH 4.23–5.35 in the presence of excess phenanthroline (pK_a1 = 3.71±0.03, pK_a2 = 5.28± 0.07). The solution reacts quantitatively with I⁻ to produce [Fe(phen)₃]²⁺ and I₂. Only 1 but none of its hydrolytic derivatives is kinetically active. Both inner and outer sphere pathways operate. The observed rate constants show second‐order dependence on the concentration of iodide, while the dependence on [H⁺] is complex in nature. Added Cl⁻ inhibits the formation of adduct with I⁻ and thus retards the rate of inner sphere path, leading to a rate saturation at high [Cl⁻], where only the outer sphere mechanism is active. Kinetic data indicate that simultaneous presence of two I⁻ in the vicinity of diiron core is necessary for the reduction of 1 . © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Chem Kinet 37: 737–743, 2005     

Aquation kinetics of chloro- and bromo-pentamminecobalt(III) ions in water-acetone mixtures

Summary The aquation kinetics of [Co(NH₃)₅Cl]²⁺ and [Co(NH₃)₅Br]²⁺ ions in acetone-water have been investigated over a wide range of solvent compositions and temperatures. The variation of thermodynamic properties of the activated complex with the mole fraction of acetone reveals the existence of specific solvation. The correlation of the rate constant with dielectric constant of the medium is examined and discussed. A reaction mechanism which describes the solvent effect on reaction rate is proposed.
