A catalytic method is described for the determination of trace amounts of manganese(II) based on its catalytic effect on the hydrogen peroxide oxidation of an anthraquinone dye, Acid blue 45 (C.I. 63010). The reaction is followed spectrophotometrically by measuring the rate of change in absorbance of the dye at 595 nm. The calibration graph (rate constant (tg α) vs. manganese concentration) is linear in the range 4–25 ng Mn ml^?1, the relative standard deviation being 1.9% at the 13 ng Mn ml^?1 level. There are few interferences. The kinetic parameters of the reaction were investigated and the role of hydrogen peroxide and hydrogencarbonate ions is discussed.     

Kinetics of polymerization initiated by Mn3+–substrate redox system. I

The kinetics and mechanism of polymerization of acrylamide (AM) initiated by manganese (III) acetate (MTA)–diglycolic acid (DGA) redox system in aqueous sulfuric acid were studied in the temperature range 20-35°C. The overall rates of polymerization and the disappearance of Mn³⁺ and the kinetic chain lengths of polyacrylamide were determined. The polymerization reaction is initiated by the organic free radical arising from the Mn³⁺–diglycolic acid reaction and the termination is by the metal ions. The rate of polymerization of acrylamide was found to be proportional to the first power of monomer and diglycolic acid and independent of manganese(III) acetate. The various rate parameters were evaluated.     

Optimized spectrophotometric determination of trace cobalt and manganese by their catalysis of the tiron—hydrogen peroxide reaction

A kinetic—spectrophotometric method for the detemination of traces of cobalt(II) and manganese(II) based on their catalytic effect on the tiron—hydrogen peroxide indicator reaction is proposed. Optimal conditions for determination of Co(II) are deduced from response surface studies, considering the sensitivity and the blank absorbance as responses. The detection limit is 0.05 ng Co ml^?1. The Mn(II)-catalyzed reaction was optimized for 1,10-phenanthroline as the activator by the simplex method and for 2,2′-bipyridine as the activator by response surface methodology on the basis of a previously described mechanistic model of the catalytic reaction. In the presence of 2,2′-bipyridine, the detection limit is 0.2 ng Mn ml^?1. The influence of foreign metal ions on both determinations is discussed and is related in the case of the 2,2′-bipyridine—activated Mn(II)-catalyzed reaction with model generated effects of these metal ions.

Study on Coordination Behaviour of Manganese Chloride with L-a-Histidine

The reaction thermodynamic and kinetic equations for the non-reversible reactions are established. The enthalpy change of formation reaction of manganese(II) histidine (His) complex in water has been determined by microcalorimetry, using manganese chloride with L-a-histidine at 298.15-323.15 K. The standard enthalpy of formation of Mn(His)₂ ²⁺(aq) has been calculated. On the basis of experimental and calculated results, three thermodynamics parameters (the activation enthalpy, the activation entropy and the activation free energy), the rate constants, along with three kinetic parameters (the apparent activation energies, the pre-exponential constant and the reaction order) are obtained. The results show that the reaction easily takes place over the studied temperature range. The solid complex Mn(His)₂Cl₂·4H₂O was prepared and characterized by IR and TG-DTG. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.

Based on the principle of Mn(II) catalysis of the Tiron-hydrogen peroxide reaction, a catalytic kinetic spectrophotometric determination of traces of manganese (ca. 10^?7 M) by flow injection was established. In combination with a microcomputer, by using gradient dilution and the stopped-flow method, onlya single standard solution was needed for calibration. The method has a high selectivity and a sampling rate of 40 h^?1. Traces of manganese in natural water were determined with a maximum relative standard deviation of 5.5% (n = 6).     

Kinetics and mechanism of the reaction of manganese(III) octaethylporphine with hydrogen peroxide

A spectroscopic and kinetic study of the oxidation of (chloro)(octaethylporphinato)manganese(III) (Cl)MnOEP with hydrogen peroxide in an aqueous-organic medium at 288–308 K was made. The nature and composition of the reaction products differ depending on the reaction conditions (H₂O₂ concentration). Based on the data on reaction rates, thermodynamic parameters of activation, and form of the rate equations of the (C1)MnOEP oxidation, a multistep reaction mechanism is suggested and substantiated, in which the decisive role is played by the limiting step, two-electron oxidation of the metal porphyrin with the coordinated peroxide or partial reduction of the oxidized form of the manganese porphyrin with the second peroxide molecule (in the form of HO ₂ ^? ), and by acid-base equilibria of the peroxide.     

Simultaneous spectrofluorimetric determination of iron and manganese by a differential kinetic catalytic method

A kinetic method is presented for the simultaneous determination of iron(III) and manganese(II) based on the different reaction rates resulting from the catalytic effect of both metal ions on the oxidation of 2-hydroxybenzaldehyde thiosemicarbazone by hydrogen peroxide in an ammoniacal medium. The reaction is monitored spectrofluorimetrically at 440 nm and with excitation at 365 nm. Two sets of reaction conditions are established to maximize the effect of manganese compared to iron, and vice versa, and the data are evaluated from simultaneous equations. Mixtures of these metal ions at ng ml^?1 levels for iron/manganese ratios from 8:1 to 1:2 can be determined with an accuracy and precition of about 3% and 1%, respectively. The methods has been applied successfully to the determination of both metals in aluminium and copper alloys, beer, cheeses and soils.

Mechanistic studies for modelling the metal ioncatalyzed tiron-hydrogen peroxide indicator reaction

Model building of kinetic-catalytic methods of determination is attempted for the tironhydrogen peroxide indicator reaction catalyzed by cobalt(II) and manganese(II) in alkaline medium. As a first approximation, rate equations for the metal ion-catalyzed reactions are derived from kinetic dependences on reagent concentrations and pH. More general models are obtained by considering the metal ion equilibria in the reaction mixture. For Co(II), a ternary tironhydrogen peroxideCo(II) complex was found to be responsible for the catalytic activity. As stability constants of peroxo (Co(II) complexes are unknown, only a qualitative approach can be given. Manganese catalyzes the indicator reaction in the presence of 1,10-phenanthroline or 2,2′-bipyridine. The initial rates under pseudo zero-order conditions in hydrogen peroxide and tiron correlate directly with the fraction of ternary activatortironMn(II) complex present. For bipyridine as activator, the rate constant is 1.31 × 10⁶ M^?1 min^?1 with respect to the ternary complex.     

Kinetics of colloidal MnO<Subscript>2</Subscript> reduction by L-arginine in absence and presence of surfactants

The kinetics of the oxidation of L-arginine by water-soluble form of colloidal manganese dioxide has been studied using visible spectrophotometry in aqueous as well as micellar media. To obtain the rate constants as functions of [L-arginine], [MnO₂] and [HClO₄], pseudo-first-order conditions are maintained in each kinetic run. The first-order-rate is observed with respect to [MnO₂], whereas fractional-order-rates are determined in both [L-arginine] and [HClO₄]. Addition of sodium pyrophosphate and sodium fluoride enhanced the rate of the reaction. The effect of externally added manganese(II) sulphate is complex. It is not possible to predict the exact dependence of the rate constant on manganese(II) concentration, which has a series of reactions with other reactants. The anionic surfactant SDS neither catalyzed nor inhibited the oxidation reaction, while in presence of cationic surfactant CTAB the reaction is not possible due to flocculation of reaction mixture. The reaction is catalyzed by the nonionic surfactant TX-100 which is explained in terms of the mathematical model proposed by Tuncay et al. Activation parameters have been evaluated using Arrhenius and Eyring equations. On the basis of observed kinetic results, a probable mechanism for the reaction has been proposed which corresponds to fast adsorption of the reductant and hydrogen ion on the surface of colloidal MnO₂.     

Automation of the Batch Method for Reaction Kinetic Studies Using Flow Injection Analysis. Kinetic Study of Hydrolysis Of N4-Acetylsulfanilamide,Acetylsalicylic Acid and Phenyl Phosphate

Abstract

The automation of the discontinuous (batch) method for kinetic stucfies using flow-injection analysis (FIA) is described. Aliquots of the reaction mixture are automatically injected in an appropriate manifold and the kinetic profile of the reaction is obtained as a series of absorbance peaks. Observed reaction rate constants are calculated using the Guggenheim and non-linear fitting approaches. The new method is evaluated in the kinetic study of the acid hydrolysis of N⁴-acetylsulfanilamide by colorimetric monitoring of sulfanilamide, the alkaline hydrolysis of acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) by colorimetric monitoring of salicylate, and the enzymic hydrolysis of phenyl phosphate with alkaline phosphatase by colorimetric monitoring of phosphate. The automated flow-injection batch method can be used in kinetic studies of reactions with t_1/2 greater than 200 s.     

Oxidation of L-aspartic acid and L-glutamic acid by manganese(III) ions in aqueous sulphuric acid,acetic acid,and pyrophosphate media: A kinetic study

Kinetics of oxidation of L-aspartic acid and L-glutamic acid by manganese(III) ions have been studied in aqueous sulphuric acid, acetic acid, and pyrophosphate media. Manganese(III) solutions were prepared by known electrolytic/chemical methods in the three media. The nature of the oxidizing species present in manganese(III) solutions was determined by spectrophotometric and redox potential measurements. The reaction shows a variable order in [manganese(III)]_o: the order changes from two to one as the reactive oxidizing species changes from an aquo ionic form to a complex form. There is a first-order dependence of the rate on [amino acid]_o in all the three media while the other common features include an inverse dependence each on [H⁺] and on [manganese(II)]. Effects of varying ionic strength and solvent composition were studied. Added anions such as pyrophosphate, fluoride, or chloride alter the reaction rate and mechanism by changing the formal redox potential of Mn(III)-Mn(II) couple. Activation parameters have been evaluated using the Arrhenius and Eyring plots. Mechanisms consistent with the kinetic data have been proposed and discussed. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

A mechanistic study on the disproportionation and oxidative degradation of phenothiazine derivatives by manganese(III) complexes in phosphate acidic media

The oxidative degradation of phenothiazine derivatives (PTZ) by manganese(III) was studied in the presence of a large excess of manganese(III)-pyrophosphate (P₂O₇ ²⁻), phosphate (PO₄ ³⁻), and H⁺ ions using UV–vis. spectroscopy. The first irreversible step is a fast reaction between phenothiazine and manganese pyrophosphate leading to the complete conversion to a stable phenothiazine radical. In the second step, the cation radical is oxidized by manganese to a dication, which subsequently hydrolyzes to phenothiazine 5-oxide. The reaction rate is controlled by the coordination and stability of manganese(III) ion influenced by the reduction potential of these ions and their strong ability to oxidize many reducing agents. The cation radical might also be transformed to the final product in another competing reaction. The final product, phenothiazine 5-oxide, is also formed via a disproportionation reaction. The kinetics of the second step of the oxidative degradation could be studied in acidic phosphate media due to the large difference in the rates of the first and further processes. Linear dependences of the pseudo-first-order rate constants (k _obs) on [Mn^III] with a significant non-zero intercept were established for the degradation of phenothiazine radicals. The rate is dependent on [H⁺] and independent of [PTZ] within the excess concentration range of the manganese(III) complexes used in the isolation method. The kinetics of the disproportionation of the phenothiazine radical have been studied independently from the further oxidative degradation process in acidic sulphate media. The rate is inversely dependent on [PTZ^+.], dependent on [H⁺], and increases slightly with decreasing H⁺ concentration. Mechanistic consequences of all these results are discussed.     

Kinetics and Mechanism of Oxidation of l‐Histidine by Permanganate Ions in Sulfuric Acid Medium

The reaction kinetics for the oxidation of l ‐histidine by permanganate ions have been investigated spectrophotometrically in sulfuric acid medium at constant ionic strength and temperature. The order with respect to permanganate ions was found to be unity and second in acid concentration, whereas a fractional order is observed with respect to histidine. The reaction was observed to proceed through formation of a 1:1 intermediate complex between oxidant and substrate. The effect of the acid concentration suggests that the reaction is acid catalyzed. Increasing the ionic strength has no significant effect on the rate. The influence of temperature on the rate of reaction was studied. The presence of metal ion catalysts was found to accelerate the oxidation rate, and the order of effectiveness of the ions was Cu²⁺ > Ni²⁺ > Zn²⁺. The final oxidation products were identified as aldehyde (2‐imidazole acetaldehyde), ammonium ion, manganese(II), and carbon dioxide. Based on the kinetic results, a plausible reaction mechanism is proposed. The activation parameters were determined and discussed with respect to a slow reaction step.     

Oxidative degradation of levofloxacin by water-soluble manganese dioxide in aqueous acidic medium: a kinetic study

Pharmaceuticals, especially fluoroquinolone antibiotics, have received increasing global concern, due to their intensive use in the environment and potential harm to ecological system as well as human health. Degradation of antibiotics, such as oxidative degradation by metal oxides, often plays an important role in the elimination of antibiotics from the environment. The kinetics of oxidation of levofloxacin by water-soluble manganese dioxide has been studied in aqueous acidic medium at 25 °C temperature. The stoichiometry for the reaction indicates that the oxidation of 1 mol of levofloxacin requires 1 mol of manganese dioxide. The reaction is second order, that is first order with respect to manganese dioxide and levofloxacin. The rate of reaction increases with the increasing [H⁺] ion concentration. A probable reaction mechanism, in agreement with the observed kinetic results, has been proposed and discussed. The energy and enthalpy of activation have been calculated to be 30.54 and 28.07 kJ mol^?1, respectively.
