Regularities of the formation of iron(III) nanocrystalline particles during the oxidation of iron(II) compounds in a neutral medium

The regularities of the formation of iron(III) oxide hydroxides as nanocrystalline particles via oxidation of iron(II) compounds in a near-neutral pH region were studied by potentiometric titration, electron microscopy, chemical analysis, and X-ray diffraction. The oxidation process comprises two steps. The first step produces Fe(II)-Fe(III) hydroxo salts having a “green rust” structure in the form of nanocrystalline particles shaped as hexagons. The second step produces anisotropic nanocrystalline particles of iron(III) oxide hydroxides via the dissolution-oxidation-precipitation mechanism and via solid-phase oxidation. The oxidation of chlorine-containing suspensions helps the formation of single-phase nanocrystalline lepidocrocite, while oxidation in the presence of sulfate ions yields nanocrystalline goethite.     

Ruthenium(III) catalyzed oxidation of hexacyanoferrate(II) by periodate in aqueous alkaline medium

Ruthenium(III) catalyzed oxidation of hexacyanoferrate(II) by periodate in alkaline medium is assumed to occurvia substrate-catalyst complex formation followed by the interaction of oxidant and complex in the rate-limiting stage and yield the products with regeneration of catalyst in the subsequent fast step. The reaction exhibits fractional order in hexacyanoferrate(II) and first-order unity each in oxidant and catalyst. The reaction constants involved in the mechanism are derived.     

Influence of arsenate species on the formation of Fe(III) oxyhydroxides and Fe(II–III) hydroxychloride

Iron(III) oxyhydroxides were prepared by oxidation of aerated aqueous suspensions of Fe(II) hydroxide. The effects of arsenate species on their formation were studied by mixing FeCl₂·4H₂O, NaOH and Na₂HAsO₄ solutions. The intermediate and final products of the oxidation processes were characterised by X-ray diffraction, Infrared and Raman spectroscopy. Arsenate species were not reduced during the process but they influenced both oxidation stages, that is the formation of the intermediate Fe(II–III) compound and its subsequent oxidation into Fe(III) compounds. Arsenate species clearly inhibited the growth and hindered the crystallisation of GR(Cl^?), the Fe(II–III) hydroxychloride that would have formed in the experimental conditions considered here. For the largest arsenate concentrations, the intermediate product was nanocrystalline and more likely consisted of clusters showing an ordering of atoms similar to that of GR(Cl^?), isolated from each other by adsorbed arsenate species. The adsorption of As(V) prevented growth of these clusters into well-crystallised GR(Cl^?). The arsenate species influenced similarly the second reaction stage by inhibiting the formation of well-ordered and crystallised Fe(III) compounds. Lepidocrocite, the final product in the absence of arsenate, was replaced by “6-line” ferrihydrite with increasing As(V) concentration, then “6-line” ferrihydrite was replaced by another poorly ordered compound, feroxyhite. These crystallised compounds were obtained together with an increasing part of nanocrystalline Fe(III) ox(yhydrox)ide(s).     

Kinetics and mechanism of the oxidation of β-alanine by dihydroxydiperiodatoargentate(III) in an alkaline medium

The kinetics of the oxidation of β-alanine by dihydroxydiperiodatoargentate(III) (DPA) in an alkaline medium was studied by spectrophotometry in a temperature range of 298.2 K-318.2 K. The reaction rate showed pseudo-first order dependence in the oxidant and 1 < n_ap < 2 in the reductant. A plausible mechanism involving a pre-equilibrium of adduct formation between the complex and reductant is proposed. The rate equations derived from the mechanism explain all experimental observations. The activation parameters along with the rate constants of the rate-determining step were calculated.

Kinetics of oxidation of some aliphatic ketones by ditelluratocuprate(III) in alkaline medium

The kinetics of oxidation of some ketones by ditelluratocuprate(III) were followed spectrophotometrically by estimating the disappearence of potassium ditelluratocuprate(III). The reaction follows first order kinetics in both substrates and oxidant. A correlation is found between the order of reactivity and partial rates of enolization of these ketones. By assuming that the mechanism of oxidation involves the enol form of the ketone in a slow step, the observed order of reactivity of these ketones is explained.

Spectral and mechanistic investigations of ruthenium(III) catalyzed oxidation of atenolol by diperiodatocuprate(III) in aqueous alkaline medium

The kinetics of ruthenium(III) catalyzed oxidation of atenolol by diperiodatocuprate(III) in aqueous alkaline medium at a constant ionic strength of I = 0.10 M has been studied spectrophotometrically at 27°C. The reaction between diperiodatocuprate(III) and atenolol in alkaline medium in presence of ruthenium(III) exhibits 2: 1 stoichiometry (atenolol: diperiodatocuprate(III)). The main products were identified by spot test, IR, NMR, and LC-MS. The reaction is of first order in DPC concentrations and has less than unit order in both ATN and alkali concentrations. The order in ruthenium(III) was unity. Intervention of free radicals was observed in the reaction. Increase in periodate concentration decreases the rate. The oxidation reaction in alkaline medium has been shown to proceed via a ruthenium(III)-atenolol complex, which reacts with monoperiodatocuprate(III) in a rate determining step followed by other fast steps to give the products. Probable mechanism is proposed and discussed. The activation parameters with respect to the slow step of the mechanism and thermodynamic quantities were determined and discussed.

Intermediate and ion-pair formation in the outer-sphere reactions between azido-pentacyanocobaltate(III) and iron(II) polypyridyl complexes in aqueous medium

The kinetics of the reactions between azido-pentacyanocobaltate(III), Co(CN)₅N₃ ³⁻, and iron(II) polypyridyl complexes, Fe(LL)₃ ²⁺ (LL = bipy, phen), have been studied in both neutral and acidic aqueous solutions at I = 0.1 mol dm⁻³ NaCl. The reactions were carried out under pseudo-first-order conditions in which the concentration of Fe(LL)₃ ²⁺ was kept constant, and the second-order rate constants obtained for the reactions at 35 °C were within the range of 0.156–0.219 dm³ mol⁻¹ s⁻¹ for LL = bipy and 0.090–0.118 dm³ mol⁻¹ s⁻¹ for LL = phen. Activation parameters were measured for these systems. The dependence of reaction rates on acid was studied in the range [H⁺] = 0.001–0.008 mol dm⁻³. The reaction in acid medium shows interesting kinetics. Two reactive species were identified in acid medium, namely, the protonated cobalt complex and the azido-bridged binuclear complex. The electron-transfer process is proposed to go by mixed outer- and inner-sphere mechanisms in acid medium, in which electron transfer through the bridged inner-sphere complex (k ₅) is slower than through the outer-sphere path (k ₄).

Microdetermination of aromatic nitro compounds with iron(II) in alkaline sorbitol media

In titrations with iron(II) sulphate in alkaline solutions of sorbitol, the iron(III) formed is bound in a strong complex and the formal redox potential of the Fe(III)/Fe(II) system is decreased to —1.10 V (SCE; 0.5 M sorbitol, 2 M KOH). This permits reducing titrations with a stable reagent, of systems which would otherwise require unstable strong reductants (e.g. Cr(II), Sn(II), V(II), etc.). Determinations of organic mono-, di- and tri-nitro compounds are described; these can be carried out directly on the microscale, with potentiometric, bipotentiometric or biamperometric end-point detection. Nitrate does not interfere; the method can also be employed for indirect determinations of various aromatic compounds after their conversion to nitro derivatives.     

Ammonia selective oxidation on Pt(100) sites in an alkaline medium

The oxidation of ammonia on platinum surfaces is a structure sensitive reaction that takes place almost exclusively on Pt(100) sites. This report shows how dependent the activity is on different arrangements of (100) sites of platinum. The effect of two-dimensional domains has been addressed by using stepped surfaces having terraces with (100) geometry, either with (111) and (110) steps. The results were compared with those obtained from stepped surfaces having terraces with (111) or (110) symmetry and monatomic (100) steps, thus representing monodimensional (100) domains. The observed behavior confirms the extreme sensitivity of the reaction to the different arrangement of this type of square sites.     

Inner-sphere oxidation of iron(II) by tris(malonato)cobaltate(III)

The kinetics of oxidation of Fe²⁺ by [Co(C₃H₂O₄)₃]^3? in acidic solutions at 605 nm showed a simple first-order dependence in each reactant concentration. The second-order rate constant dependence on [H⁺] is in accordance with eqn (i) k₂ = k′₂ + k₃[H⁺] (i) where k′₂ and k₃ have values of 73.4 ± 14.0 M ^?1 s^?1 and 353 ± 41 M^?2 s^?1, respectively, at 1.0 M ionic strength (NaClO₄) and 25°C. At 310 nm the formation and decomposition of an intermediate, believed to be [FeC₃H₂O₄]⁺, was observed. The increase in the rate of oxidation with increasing [H⁺] was interpreted in terms of a “one-ended” dissociation mechanism which facilitates chelation of Fe₂₊ by the carbonyl oxygens of malonate in the transition state.     

Kinetics and mechanism of oxidation of 1,2-butanediol by argentate(III) complex in alkaline medium

The kinetics of oxidation of 1,2-butanediol by dihydroxyditellutoargentate(III) (DDA) is studied spectrophotometrically. The reaction rate shows first order dependence in DDA and 1 < n_ap < 2 order in 1,2-butanediol. It is found that the pseudo-first order rate constant k _obs increases with the increase in concentration of OH^? and decreases with the increase in concentration of TeO₄ ^2?. There is a negative salt effect; no free radical is detected. In view of this, the dihydroxymonotelluratoargentate(III) species is assumed to be the active species. A plausible mechanism involving a two-electron transfer is proposed and the rate equations derived from mechanism explains all experimental results. The activation parameters along with the rate constants of the rate-determining step are calculated.     

Mechanism of hexacyanoferrate(III) oxidation of 1-propanol and 2-propanol in aqueous alkaline medium

Kinetic studies of the hexacyanoferrate(III) oxidation of 1-propanol and 2-propanol have been carried out in aqueous alkaline medium. The reaction velocity is of first order with respect to alcohols, alkali and hexacyanoferrate(III). The kinetic data suggest that the oxidation involves the formation of an anion of the substrate undergoes oxidation with hexacyanoferrate(III) via charge transfer process. The free radical thus produced is further oxidised to form the final products.

Kinetics and mechanism of oxidation of some reducing sugars by diperiodatoargentate(III) in alkaline medium

Summary The kinetics of oxidation of d-glucose, d-galactose, d-fructose, d-ribose, d-arabinose, d-xylose and 2-deoxyd-glucose by diperiodatoargentate(III) (DPA) have been investigated in alkaline medium. The order of the reaction with respect to [DPA] is unity while the order with respect to [sugar] is < 1 over the concentration range studied. The rate increases with an increase in [OH ^–] and there is a marginal decrease in the rate with an increase in [IO _inf4 ^sup– ]. No significant dependence on ionic strength was found, but the rate increases with a decreasing dielectric constant. Formic acid and the corresponding aldonic acids were detected as the products of oxidation. The participation of the open chain form of the sugar and a mechanism involving the initial formation of a complex between the enediol of the sugar and Ag^III are proposed.
