The kinetics of the anation reaction of aquopentaamminecobalt(III) by malonate in acidic aqueous solution

The Co(NH₃)₅OH₂³⁺ ion reacts with malonate to form Co(NH₃)₅O₂CCH₂CO₂H²⁺ or Co(NH₃)₅O₂CCH₂CO₂⁺, depending on the pH of the reaction solution. The kinetics of this anation reaction have been studied as a function of [H⁺] for the acidity range 1.5 ≤ pH ≤ 6.0 in the temperature range of 60 to 80°C, the [total malonate] ≤ 0.5 M, and the ionic strength 1.0M. The anation by malonic acid follows second-order kinetics, the rate constant being 8.0 × 10^?5 M^?1·sec^?1 at 70°C, and the anations by bimalonate (Q₁, k₁) and malonate ion (Q₂, k₂) are consistent with an I_d mechanism. Typical values at 70°C for the ion pair formation constants are Q₁ = 1.3, Q₂ = 5.4M^?1; and for the interchange rate constants k₁ = 5.3 × 10^?4; k₂ = 7.3 × 10^?4 sec^?1. The activation parameters for the various rate constants are reported and the results discussed with reference to previously reported data for similar systems.     

KINETICS OF FORMATION AND STABILITY CONSTANTS OF MONO AND BIS l-TYROSINE COMPLEXES OF Cu(II), Co(II), AND Ni(II)

Abstract

The kinetics and stability constants of l-tyrosine complexation with copper(II), cobalt(II) and nickel(II) have been studied in aqueous solution at 25° and ionic strength 0.1 M. The reactions are of the type M(HL)^(3-n)+ _n-1 + HL- ? M(HL)^(2-n)+_n(k_n, forward rate constant; k_-n, reverse rate constant); where M=Cu, Co or Ni, HL^? refers to the anionic form of the ligand in which the hydroxyl group is protonated, and n=1 or 2. The stability constants (K_n=k_n/k_-n) of the mono and bis complexes of Cu²⁺, Co²⁺ and Ni²⁺ with l-tyrosine, determined by potentiometric pH titration are: Cu²⁺, log K₁=7.90 ± 0.02, log K₂=7.27 ± 0.03; Co²⁺, log K₁=4.05 ± 0.02, log K₂=3.78 ± 0.04; Ni²⁺, log K₁=5.14 ± 0.02, log K₂=4.41 ± 0.01. Kinetic measurements were made using the temperature-jump relaxation technique. The rate constants are: Cu²⁺, k₁=(1.1 ± 0.1) × 10⁹ M ^?1 sec^?1, k_-1=(14 ± 3) sec^?1, k₂=(3.1 ± 0.6) × 10⁸ M ^?1 sec^?1, k^?2=(16 ± 4) sec^?1; Co²⁺, k₁=(1.3 ± 0.2) × 10⁶ M ^?1 sec^?1, k_-1=(1.1 ± 0.2) × 10² sec^?1, k₂=(1.5 ± 0.2) × 10⁶ M ^?1 sec^?1, k_-2=(2.5 ± 0.6) × 10² sec^?1; Ni²⁺, k₁=(1.4 ± 0.2) × 10⁴ M ^?1 sec^?1, k_-1=(0.10 ± 0.02) sec^?1, k₂=(2.4 ± 0.3) × 10⁴ M ^?1 sec^?1, k_-2=(0.94 ± 0.17) sec^?1. It is concluded that l-tyrosine substitution reactions are normal. The presence of the phenyl hydroxyl group in l-tyrosine has no primary detectable influence on the forward rate constant, while its influence on the reverse rate constant is partially attributed to substituent effects on the basicity of the amine terminus.     

Aquation of chloropentaamminecobalt(III) Perchlorate in chloride-ion containing water–nonaqueous solvent mixtures

The equilibrium quotients for the formation of Co(NH₃)₅Cl²⁺ from Co(NH₃)₅OH₂³⁺ and Cl^? were 3.74±0.25 M^?1 and 6.07±0.54 M^?1 at 45.0°C in 10:1 mole ratio water: dimethyl sulfoxide and in 25 w/w % aqueous ethanol, respectively, and those forthe formation of the ion pair Co(NH₃)₅OH₂³⁺ . Cl^? were 1.21±0.20 M^?1 and 1.58±0.17 M^?1, respectively, in the same solvents. The aquation and anation rateconstants were determined at 45.0°C for these two solvents over the range of chloride-ion concentrations 0.0 ≤ [Cl^?] ≤ 0.9 M. The aquation rate constant was essentially independent of chloride-ion concentration in each solvent over this range. The inverse of the pseudo-first-order anation rate constant was linearly dependent on the inverse of the chloride-ion concentration in each solvent. The least squares relationships between (1/k_an) and (1/[Cl^?]) gave intercepts and ratios of intercept to slope which were analyzed interms of I_d and D mechanisms. It was concluded that the data were not satisfied by a D mechanism, but that they were consistent with an I_d mechanism.     

Kinetics of the Reductions of (Ethylenediaminetetraacetato)cobaltate(III) by 4,4-Dipyridylamine Complexes of Pentacyanoferrate(II) and Pentaammineruthenium(II)

The reactions of Fe(CN)₅dpa^3? and Ru(NH₃)₅dpa²⁺ (dpa = 4,4′-dipyridylamine) with Co(edta)^? have been investigated kinetically. For Fe(CN)₅dpa^3? complex, a linear relationship was observed between the pseudo-First-order rate constants and the concentrations of Co(edta) which leads to a specific rate 0.876 ± 0.006 M^?1S^?1 at T = 25°C., μ = 0.10 M and pH = 8.0. For the Ru(NH₃)₅dpa²⁺ system, the plots k_obs vs [Co(edta)^?] become nonlinear at concentrations of Co(edta) greater than 0.01 M and the reaction is interpreted on the basis of a mechanism involving the formation of an ion pair between Ru(NH₃)₅dpa²⁺ and Co(edta)^? followed by electron transfer from Ru(II) to Co(III). The nonlinear least squares fit of the kinetic results shows that Q_ip = 10.6 ± 0.7 M^?1 and k_et = 93.9 ± 0.7 s^?1 at pH = 8.0,μ = 0.10 M and T = 25°C.     

Studies on the composition and kinetics of chromium(III)-alanine system

Kinetics of the complex formation of chromium(III) with alanine in aqueous medium has been studied at 45, 50, and 55°C, pH 3.3–4.4, and μ = 1 M (KNO₃). Under pseudo first-order conditions the observed rate constant (k_obs) was found to follow the rate equation: Values of the rate parameters (k_an, k, K_IP, and K) were calculated. Activation parameters for anation rate constants, ΔH^≠(k_an) = 25 ± 1 kJ mol^?1, ΔH^≠(k) = 91 ± 3 kJ mol^?1, and ΔS^≠(k_an) = ?244 ± 3 JK^?1 mol^?1, ΔS^≠(k) = ?30 ± 10 JK^?1 mol^?1 are indicative of an (I_a) mechanism for k_an and (I_d) mechanism for k routes (‥substrate Cr(H₂O) is involved in the k route whereas Cr(H₂O)₅OH²⁺ is involved in k′ route). Thermodynamic parameters for ion-pair formation constants are found to be ΔH°(K_IP) = 12 ± 1 kJ mol^?1, ΔH°(K) = ?13 ± 3 kJ mol^?1 and ΔS°(K_IP) = 47 ± 2 JK^?1 mol^?1, and ΔS°(K) = 20 ± 9 JK^?1 mol^?1.
