Kinetics of oxidation of iron(II) by vanadium(V) under the conditions where VO2+ and decavanadate coexist

The kinetics of the reaction between iron(II) and vanadium(V) have been investigated in the pH range 2.6–4.2 where decavanadates and VO₂⁺ coexist in equilibrium. Under these conditions, the observed kinetic pattern is radically different from the one reported for the reaction in strong acid medium. In the pH range employed, the reaction rate is not appreciably altered by variation in the stoichiometric vanadium(V) concentration due to the operation of the equilibrium between the reactive species, VO₂⁺, and the unreactive species, decavanadates. The reaction, however, obeys first‐order kinetics with respect to Fe(II). In the presence of salicylic acid, which imparts considerable reactivity to iron(II) by reducing the reduction potential of iron(III)/iron(II) couple by forming a stronger complex with iron(III) than iron(II), the kinetic results provide evidence for the participation of decavanadates in the electron transfer. The mechanism under both conditions is discussed. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Int J Chem Kinet 32: 535–541, 2000     

Mechanistic studies of the reaction of bis(2,4,6-tripyridyl 1,3,5-triazine)iron(II) with triazines

Bis(2,4,6-tripyridyl 1,3,5-triazine)iron(II), \textFe(\textTPTZ) ₂ ^{2 +} {\text{Fe(\text{TPTZ})}}_{ 2}^{{ 2 { + }}} reacts with 3-(2-pyridyl)-5,6-bis(4-phenyl-sulfonicacid)-1,2,4-triazine (PDTS) and 3-(4-(4-phenylsulfonicacid)-2-pyridyl)-5,6-bis(4-phenylsulfonic-acid)-1,2,4-triazine (PPDTS) to give \textFe(PDTS) ₃ ^4- {\text{Fe(PDTS)}}_{ 3}^{ 4- } and \textFe(PPDTS) ₃ ^7- {\text{Fe(PPDTS)}}_{ 3}^{ 7- } respectively. Both of these substitution reactions are fast and their kinetics were monitored by stopped-flow spectrophotometry in acetate buffers in the pH range of 3.6–5.6 at 25–45 °C. Both reactions are first order in \textFe(TPTZ) ₂ ^{2 +} {\text{Fe(TPTZ)}}_{ 2}^{{ 2 { + }}} and triazine, and pH has negligible effect on the rate. The kinetic data suggest that these reactions occur in an associative path and a mechanism is proposed considering both protonated and unprotonated forms of PDTS and PPDTS are very similar in reactivity. The kinetic and activation parameters have been evaluated.     

Synthesis and Characterization of New Mononuclear Ru (II) PolypyridylComplexes with Catalytic Activity

In this work, we report the synthesis and physicochemical characterization of new chloro and aqua mononuclear Ru (II) complexes of formula [Ru(LLL)(dpp)Cl]PF₆ and [Ru(LLL)(dpp)OH₂](PF₆)₂ (LLL=tpy =2,2’ : 6’,2’’-terpyridine; tptz=2,4,6-tris(2-pyridyl)-1,3,5-triazine and dpp=2,3-bis(2-pyridil)pyrazine). For the complex [Ru(tptz)(dpp)Cl]PF₆, the complete structure was determined by X-ray diffraction. Catalytic studies of aqua-complexes revealed that they are active for the water oxidation reaction at pH 1 using cerium ammonium nitrate (CAN) as a sacrificial oxidant. Also, we were able to establish the reaction mechanism and rate constants of each stage of the catalytic cycle, turnover frequencies (TOFs), and turnover numberes (TONs). The experimental TON values for the aqua complexes were very close to the theoretical value of 7.5, indicating a high degree of recovery. DFT and TD-DFT calculations of electronic states for all complexes were consistent with experimental results and allowed the complete assignment of their UV-Visible bands and redox states.     

Sorption of iron(II) and ruthenium(III)-triazine complexes on silica gel and its analytical applicability

2,4,6-Tri(2′-pyridyl)-s-triazine (TPTZ) complexes with iron(II) and ruthenium(III) were prepared. Their sorption and desorption features on silica gel have been investigated. Both complexes were strongly adsorbed. This has been utilized for separating and preconcentrating iron(II) and ruthenium(III) using TPTZ-impregnated silica gel. The chromatographic behavior of TPTZ on silica gel column was examined and found to be effective modifier for silica gel surface. The sorption capacity of silica gel for those metal-triazine complexes has been determined under static conditions and was found to be 5.28 × 10^–3 mM (Fe(TPTZ)₂²⁺) and 2.9 × 10^–3 mM (Ru(TPTZ)₂³⁺). Saturated methanolic solutions of KI or 25% NaClO₄ solutions desorbed both complexes quantitatively from the silica gel surface.     

Kinetics of vanadium (V) catalyzed oxidation of gallic acid by potassium bromate in acid medium

The kinetics of oxidation of gallic acid with potassium bromate in the presence of vanadium(V) catalyst in aqueous acid medium has been studied under varying conditions. The active species of catalyst and oxidant in the reaction were understood to be HBrO₃ and VO₂⁺. The autocatalysis exhibited by one of the products, i.e. Br⁻, was attributed to complex formation between bromide and vanadium(V). A composite scheme and rate law were possible, some reaction constants involved in the mechanism have been evaluated. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Kinetics and mechanism of oxidation of allyl,crotyl and cinnamyl alcohol by chromium(V)

Summary The kinetics of oxidation of unsaturated alcoholsviz. allyl, crotyl and cinnamyl alcohol by sodium bis[2-ethyl-2-hydroxy butanoato (2–)] oxochromate(V) Cr^v, has been investigated in 25% (v/v) aq. HOAc:HClO₄. The order in [oxidant] and [substrate] was 1.0 and 0.7 respectively. The oxidation rate increased with increase in [2-ethyl-2-hydroxybutyric acid] (EHBA) and decreased with increase in the percentage of HOAc. The rate decreases slightly with increase in [H^_]. The unsaturated alcohols exhibited higher reactivity compared to their saturated analogues. A mechanism involving the formation of a complex between Cr^v and alcohol which in turn disproportionates into products in a slow step is advanced to explain the kinetic results.     

Kinetics and mechanism of oxidation of glycine by iron(iii)-1,10-phenanthroline complex in perchloric acid medium

Kinetics and mechanism of oxidation of glycine by iron (III)-1,10-phenanthroline complex has been studied in perchloric acid medium. The reaction is first order with respect to iron(III) and glycine. An increase in (phenanthroline) increases the rate, while increase in [H⁺] decreases the rate. Hence it can be inferred that the reactive species of the substrate is the zwitterionic form and that of the oxidant is [Fe(phen)₂(H₂O)₂]³⁺. The proposed mechanism leads to the rate law as elucidated.     

Kinetics and reactivities of ruthenium(III)- and osmium(VIII)-catalyzed oxidation of ornidazole with chloramine-T in acid and alkaline media: A mechanistic approach

Ornidazole is an antiparasitic drug having a wide spectrum of activity. Literature survey has revealed that no attention has been paid towards the oxidation of ornidazole with any oxidant from the kinetic and mechanistic view point. Also no one has examined the role of platinum group metal ions as catalysts in the oxidation of this drug. Such studies are of much use in understanding the mechanistic profile of ornidazole in redox reactions and provide an insight into the interaction of metal ions with the substrate in biological systems. For these reasons, the Ru(III)- and Os(VIII)-catalyzed kinetics of oxidation of ornidazole with chloramine-T have been studied in HCl and NaOH media, respectively at 313 K. The oxidation products and kinetic patterns were found to be different in acid and alkaline media. Under comparable experimental conditions, in Ru(III)-catalyzed oxidation the rate law is −d[CAT]/dt = k [CAT]_o[ornidazole]_o^x[H⁺]^−y[Ru(III)]^z and it takes the form −d[CAT]/dt = k [CAT]_o[ornidazole]_o^x[OH⁻]^y[Os(VIII)][ArSO₂NH₂]^−z for Os(VIII)-catalyzed reaction, where x, y and z are less than unity. In acid medium, 1-chloro-3-(2-methyl-5-nitroimidazole-1-yl)propan-2-one and in alkaline medium, 1-hydroxy-3-(2-methyl-5-nitroimidazole-1-yl)propan-2-one were characterized as the oxidation products of ornidazole by GC–MS analysis. The reactions were studied at different temperatures and the overall activation parameters have been computed. The solvent isotope effect was studied using D₂O. Under identical set of experimental conditions, the kinetics of Ru(III) catalyzed oxidation of ornidazole by CAT in acid medium have been compared with uncatalyzed reactions. The relative rates revealed that the catalyzed reactions are about 5-fold faster whereas in Os(VIII) catalyzed reactions, it is around 9 times. The catalytic constant (K_C) has been calculated for both the catalysts at different temperatures and activation parameters with respect to each catalyst have been evaluated. The observed experimental results have been explained by plausible mechanisms. Related rate laws have been worked out.     

Oxidation of thiourea and thioacetamide by octacyanomolybdate(v) anion in perchloric acid

Summary The kinetics of the reduction of octacyanomolybdate(V) anion by thiourea and thioacetamide have been studied in aqueous HClO₄ at constant ionic strengthI=0.10 mol dm^–3 (NaClO₄). The rate of oxidation of these substrates by the oxidant shows a first order dependence in both the oxidant and the substrates and while the thiourea system exhibits an inverse first-order dependence on [H⁺] that of thioacetamide is found to be first-order in [H⁺]. The variation observed in [H⁺] dependences in these reactions is attributed to the nature of the thiourea in the pH range used in this study and the inductive effect of the methyl group in thioacetamide. A mechanistic interpretation of these observations is advanced.     

Kinetic Study of the Reduction of Bromate Ion by Tris(1,10-Phenanthroline)Iron(II) and Aquoiron(II) Ions — Implication for the Bromate-Gallic Acid Oscillating Reaction

The kinetics of the bromate oxidation of tris(1,10-phenanthroline)iron(II) (Fe(phen)₃²⁺) and aquoiron(II) (Fe²⁺ (aq)) have been studied in aqueous sulfuric acid solutions at μ = 1.0M and with Fe(II) complexes in great excess. The rate laws for both reactions generally can be described as -d [Fe(II)]/6dt = d[Br^?]/dt = k[Fe(II)] [BrO^?₃] for [H⁺]₀ = 0.428–1.00M. For [BrO^?₃]₀ = 1.00 × 10^?4M. [Fe²⁺]₀ = (0.724–1.45)x 10^?2 M, and [H⁺]₀ = 1.00M, k = 3.34 ± 0.37 M^?1s^?1 at 25°. For [BrO^?₃]₀ = (1.00–1.50) × 10^?4M, [Fe²⁺]₀ = 7.24 × 10^?3M ([phen]₀ = 0.0353M), and [H⁺]₀ = 1.00M, k = (4.40 ± 0.16) × 10^?2 M^?1s^?1 at 25°. Kinetic results suggest that the BrO^?₃-Fe²⁺ reaction proceeds by an inner-sphere mechanism while the BrO^?₃-Fe(phen)₃²⁺ reaction by a dissociative mechanism. The implication of these results for the bromate-gallic acid and other bromate oscillators is also presented.     

Binuclear vanadium(V) complexes of bis(aryl)adipohydrazone: synthesis,spectroscopic studies,crystal structure and catalytic activity

Three new binuclear vanadium(V) complexes of bis(aryl)adipohydrazones (H₄L¹ = bis((2-hydroxynaphthalen-1-yl)methylene)adipohydrazide, H₄L² = bis(5-bromo-2-hydroxybenzylidene)adipohydrazide, and H₄L³ = bis(2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzylidene)adipohydrazide) were synthesized by direct reaction of [VO(acac)₂] with the hydrazone ligands. The ligands and complexes were characterized by FT–IR, UV–Vis, and NMR spectroscopic methods. The crystal structures of the complexes of L¹ and L³ were determined by X-ray analyses. The solid-state structure of the complex of L¹ features a 1D hydrogen-bonded chain from N⋯H–O hydrogen bonding. The catalytic activities of these complexes have been tested in the oxidation of various hydrocarbons using H₂O₂ as the terminal oxidant. Generally, good to excellent conversions have been obtained.     

Ruthenium(III)-catalyzed oxidation of thallium(i) by 12-tungstocobaltate(III) in hydrochloric acid medium

The reaction between thallium(I) and [Co^IIIW₁₂O₄₀]^5- in the presence of ruthenium(III) as catalyst proceeds viainitial outer-sphere oxidation of the catalyst to ruthenium(VI). The ruthenium(IV) thus generated will oxidize thallium(I) to an unstable thallium(II) which by reacting with oxidant gives the final product, thallium(III). The formation of ruthenium(II) by direct two-electron reduction of the catalyst by thallium(I) is thermodynamically less favorable. The reaction rate is unaffected by the [ H⁺ ], whereas it is catalyzed by chloride ion . The formation of reactive chlorocomplex,TlCl, in a prior equilibrium is the reason for the chloride ion catalysis. Increasing the relative permittivity of the medium increases the rate of the reaction, which is attributed to the formation of an outer-sphere complex between the catalyst and oxidant. This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Kinetics and mechanistic aspects on electron‐transfer process for permanganate oxidation of poly(ethylene glycol) in aqueous acidic solutions in the presence and absence of Ru(III) catalyst

The kinetics and mechanism of oxidation of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) by the permanganate ion as a multiequivalent oxidant in aqueous perchlorate solutions at an ionic strength of 2.0 mol dm⁻³ has been investigated spectrophotometrically. The reaction kinetics was found to be of complex in nature. The pseudo–first‐order plots showed curves of inverted S‐shape, consisting of two distinct stages throughout the entire course of reaction. The first stage was relatively slow, followed by a fast reaction rate at longer time periods. The first‐order dependence in [MnO₄⁻], fractional first‐order dependence in [H⁺], and fractional first‐order kinetics in the PEG concentration for the first stage have been revealed in the absence of the Ru(III) catalyst. The influence of the Ru(III) catalyst on the oxidation kinetics has been examined. The oxidation was found to be catalyzed by the added Ru(III) catalyst. The First‐order dependence on the catalyst and zero order with respect to the oxidant concentrations have been observed. The kinetic parameters have been evaluated, and a tentative reaction mechanism consistent with the kinetic results is suggested and discussed.     

Kinetics and mechanism of indigo carmine-acidic iodate reaction. An indicator reaction for catalytic determination of Ru(III) ion

A kinetic study of uncatalyzed and Ru(III) catalyzed oxidation of indigo carmine(IC) (disodium 3,3′-dioxobi-indolin-2,2′-ylidene-5,5′-disulphonate) by iodate ion in aqueous sulphuric acid solution is reported. The uncatalyzed reaction order was found to be four; one each with respect to IC and iodate ion and second order with H⁺ ion. The Ru(III) catalyzed reaction was of fifth order, second order with respect to H⁺ and first order with respect to reductant, oxidant, and catalyst. Stoichiometric ratios of both reactions were the same with a 3:2 reductant-oxidant ratio. In both uncatalyzed and catalyzed reactions isatin-5-monosulphonic acid (2,3-dioxoindoline-5-sulphonic acid) was observed as the oxidation product. Rate constants for both the reactions are reported. Reaction mechanisms consistent with the experimental data are suggested. Further, a fixed time method is described for the determination of Ru(III), based on its ability to catalyze the oxidation of IC by acidic iodate. Using [H⁺] 2.25M, [iodate] 1.00 × 10^?3M and [IC] 5.0 × 10^?5M, in presence of Ru(III), the reaction followed first order kinetics with respect to IC. The interference of various cations, neutral salts, and potassium iodide on the determination of Ru(III) was studied using synthetic mixtures. The selectivity of the method and the recommended procedure are described.     

Kinetics of the Oxidation of D‐Glucose and Cellobiose by Acidic Solution of N‐Bromoacetamide Using Transition Metal Complex Species, [RuCl3(H2O)2OH] −, as Catalyst

The kinetics of Ru(III)‐catalyzed and Hg(II)‐co‐catalyzed oxidation of D‐glucose (Glc) and cellobiose (Cel) by N‐bromoacetamide (NBA) in the presence of perchloric acid at 40 °C have been investigated. The reactions exhibit the first order kinetics with respect to NBA, but tend towards the zeroth order to higher NBA. The reactions are the first order with respect to Ru(III) and are fractional positive order with respect to [reducing sugar]. Positive effect of Cl^? and Hg(OAc)₂ on the rate of reaction is also evident in the oxidation of both reducing sugars. A negative effect of variation of H⁺ and acetamide was observed whereas the ionic strength (µ) of the medium had no influence on the oxidation rate. The rate of reaction decreased with the increase in dielectric constant and this enabled the computation of d_AB, the size of the activated complex. Various activation parameters have been evaluated and suitable explanation for the formation of the most reactive activated complex has been given. The main products of the oxidation are the corresponding arabinonic acid and formic acid. HOBr and [RuCl₃(H₂O)₂OH]^? were postulated as the reactive species of oxidant and catalyst respectively. A common mechanism, consistent with the kinetic data and supported by the observed effect of ionic strength, dielectric constant and multiple regression analysis, has been proposed. Formation of complex species such as [RuCl₃·S·(H₂O)OH]^? and RuCl₃·S·OHgBr·OH during the course of reaction was fully supported by kinetic and spectral evidences.     

Indirect Spectrophotometric Determination of Vanadium(IV) by Flow Injection Analysis Based on the Redox Reaction with Copper(II) in the Presence of Neocuproine

Abstract

An indirect photometric method with a continuous-flow analysis is presented for the determination of trace amounts of vanadium(IV). It is based on the redox reaction of copper(II) with vanadium(1V) in the presence of neocuproine. In the presence of neocuproine, copper(I1) is reduced easily by vanadium(I V) to a copper(1)-neocuproine complex, which shows a n absorption maximum at 454 nm. By measuring t h e absorbance of the complex at this wavelength, vanadium(1V) in t h e range 2×10^?6 - 8 × mol dm^?5 mol dm^?3 can be determined at a rate of 120 samples h^?1. The fractional determination of vanadium(1V) and iron(I1) is also studied.     

Kinetics and Mechanistic Approach to the Oxidative Behavior of Biological Anticancer Platinum(IV) Complex toward ‐Asparagine in Acid Medium and the Effect of Copper(II) Catalyst

The catalytic effect of copper(II) ions toward the oxidation of ‐asparagine (Asn) by an anticancer platinum(IV) complex in the form of hexachloroplatinate(IV) (HCP) has been investigated in aqueous acid medium at the constant ionic strength and temperature. The progress of both uncatalyzed and copper(II)‐catalyzed oxidation reactions has been monitored spectrophotometrically. The stoichiometry in both cases is [Asn]/[HCP] = 1:1. The kinetics of both redox reactions is first order with respect to [oxidant] and less than the unit order in [acid]. The order with respect to [Asn]_T decreases from unity in the uncatalyzed path to less than unity in the catalyzed one. The catalyzed path is first order in [Cu^II]_T. Increasing ionic strength and dielectric constant decreases the oxidation rates. The final oxidation products of ‐asparagine are identified as the corresponding aldehyde (α‐formyl acetamide), ammonium ion, and carbon dioxide. Tentative mechanisms of both reactions have been suggested. The appropriate rate laws are deduced. The activation parameters of the uncatalyzed reaction have been evaluated and discussed.     

Synthese und Kristallstrukturen von monomeren bis(thiophenolato)metall(II)-Komplexen

Preparation and Structures of Monomeric Bis(thiophenolato)metal(II) Complexes Sodium-2,4,6-tris(trifluoromethyl)thiophenolate (NaSR_f) reacts with MCl₂ (M = Zn, Pb) in the molar ratio of 2:1 to form the bis(thiophenolato)metal(II)complexes bis[2,4,6-tris(trifluoromethyl)thiophenolato]zinc 1 and bis[2,4,6-tris(trifluoromethyl)thiophenolato]lead 2 .

The structures of Zn(SR_f)₂ · 2THF 1a , Pb(SR_f)₂ · THF 2a and Mn(SR_f)₂ · 2THF 3a are discussed.     

Flow injection analysis for oxidation state speciation of vanadium(IV) and vanadium(V) in natural water.

A sensitive and simultaneous spectrophotometric flow injection method for the determination of vanadium(IV) and vanadium(V) is proposed. The method is based on the effect of ligands such as 2,4,6-tris(2-pyridyl)-1,3,5-triazine (TPTZ) and diphosphate on the conditional redox potential of iron(III)/iron(II) system. A four-channel flow system is assembled. In this flow system, diluted hydrochloric acid (1.0 x 10(-2) mol dm(-3)) as a carrier for standard/sample, acetate buffer (pH 5.5) as a carrier for diphosphate solution, an equimolar mixed solution of iron(III) and iron(II) and a TPTZ solution are delivered, so that the baseline absorbance can be established by forming a constant amount of iron(II)-TPTZ complex (lambda(max) = 593 nm). Vanadium(IV) and/or vanadium(V) (400 microL) and diphosphate (200 microL) solutions are simultaneously introduced into the flow system; in this system the diphosphate solution passes through a delay coil. The potential of the iron(III)/iron(II) system increases in the presence of TPTZ, and therefore vanadium(IV) is easily oxidized by iron(III) to vanadium(V) to produce an iron(II)-TPTZ complex (a positive peak for vanadium(IV) appears). On the other hand, the potential of the redox system decreases in the presence of diphosphate, so that vanadium(V) can be easily reduced by iron(II) to vanadium(IV). In this case, the amount of iron(II) decreases according to the amount of vanadium(V). As a result, the produced iron(II)-TPTZ complex decreases (a negative peak for vanadium(V) appears). In this manner, two peaks for vanadium(IV) and vanadium(V) can be alternately obtained. The limits of detection (S/N = 3) are 1.98 x 10(-7) and 2.97 x 10(-7) mol dm(-3) for vanadium(IV) and vanadium(V), respectively. The method is applied to the simultaneous determination of vanadium(IV) and vanadium(V) in commercial bottled mineral water samples.     

Characterisation and thermal analysis of vanadium(II) oxalate

The synthesis, compositional formula and mode of thermal decomposition of a compound for which there existed only a single literature reference [1] have been investigated in this work.The product of the aqueous phase reaction between vanadium(II) ions and oxalate ions at lowpH has been identified: vanadium(II) oxalate dihydrate, VC₂O₄·2H₂O, has been characterised by thermal methods of analysis supported by a range of complementary analytical techniques.The findings of a previous author [1] have been confirmed and extended in this work. In addition, a synthetic procedure for the preparation of gram quantities of vanadium(II) oxalate dihydrate, VC₂O₄·2H₂O, is reported here for the first time.The oxalate compound prepared was found to be remarkably stable in relation to aerial oxidation, unlike other representative solid state compounds of the vanadium(II) oxidation state. Vanadium(II) oxalate dihydrate may, therefore, serve as an important intermediate in the future synthesis of other vanadium(II) compounds.We would wish to thank Mr. S. Sutcliffe, University College Salford, for providing the Thermal Analysis data and also Mr. S. Unsworth, Magnesium Electron, Clifton, Manchester, for providing the XRD data.
