Abstract: | The kinetics of oxidation of CoIINM(H2O)]3– (N = nitrilotriacetate, M = malonate) by N-bromosuccinimide (NBS) in aqueous solution have been found to obey the equation: dCoIII]/dt = k
1
K
2NBS]CoII]T/{1 + K2NBS] + (H+/K1)} where k
1 is the rate constant for the electron transfer process, K
1 the equilibrium constant for dissociation of CoIINM(H2O)]3– to CoIINM(OH)]4– + H+, and K
2 the pre-equilibrium formation constant. Values of k
1 = 1.07 × 10–3 s–1, K
1 = 4.74 × 10–8 mol dm–3 and K
2 = 472 dm3 mol–1 have been obtained at 30 °C and I = 0.2 mol dm–3. The thermodynamic activation parameters have been calculated. The experimental rate law is consistent with a mechanism in which the deprotonated CoIINM(OH)]4– is considered to be the most reactive species compared to its conjugate acid. It is assumed that electron transfer takes place via an inner-sphere mechanism. |
