Biphasic oxidation of diaquadichloro(1,10-phenanthroline)chromium(III) by N-bromosuccinimide and the formation of chromium(IV) and chromium(V)

The kinetics of oxidation of diaquadichloro(1,10-phenanthroline)chromium(III) complex, [Cr^III(phen)(H₂O)₂Cl₂]⁺, by N-bromosuccinimide (NBS) is biphasic. The first faster step involves the oxidation of Cr(III) to Cr(IV). The second slower step is due to the oxidation of Cr(IV) to Cr(V). The reaction product is isolated and characterized by electron spin resonance (ESR), IR, and elemental analysis. The chromium(V) product is consistent with the formula [Cr^V(phen)Cl₂(O)]Br. The rate constants k_f and k_s, for the faster and the slower steps respectively, were obtained using an Origin 9.0 software program. Values of both k_f and k_s, varied linearly with [NBS] at constant reaction conditions. The effect of pH on the reaction rate is investigated over the pH (4.11–6.01) range at 25.0°C. The rate constants k_f and k_s increased with increasing pH. This is consistent with hydroxo forms of the chromium species being more reactive than the aqua forms. Chromium(III) complexes, more often than not, are inert. The oxidation of the Cr(III) complex to Cr(IV), most likely, proceeds by an outer sphere mechanism. Since chromium(IV) is labile the mechanism of its oxidation to chromium(V) is not certain.     

Kinetics of cerium(IV) oxidation of macrocyclic complexes of chromium(III) and fate of chromium(IV) intermediates

Kinetics and mechanism of the cerium(IV) oxidation of Cr(III) complexes of a series of macrocyclic (or pseudomacrocyclic) ligands with [14]-membered intraligand ring-sizes have now been investigated at I = 1.0 M (LiClO₄) Temp. 30°C. The complexes of the formulation Cr(macrocycle)(X)(H₂O) where X = CHCl₂ and H₂O, n = 0 or 1 undergo oxidation to Cr(VI) with the formation of chromium(IV) intermediates. The observed kinetic parameters for the Ce(IV) oxidation of Cr(III) macrocyclic complexes have been discussed in terms of changes brought about by the macrocyclic ligands on the Cr(III)—Cr(IV) redox potentials and in specific rates for Cr(IV)—Cr(V) conversion. On the basis of this study, it has been suggested that the trapping of Cr(IV) is easier when a macrocyclic ligand having a symmetrical intra-ligand ring size and unsaturation in the cyclic structure is coordinated equatorially. Cyclic voltammetric studies indicate the formation of Cr(IV) transient in the case of electrochemical oxidation of trans-Cr(Me₄[14]tetraene)(H₂O).

Kinetics and mechanism of oxidation of the binary and ternary complexes of chromium(III) involving inosine and glycine by N -bromosuccinimide

The kinetics of oxidation of the chromium(III) complexes, [Cr(Ino)(H₂O)₅]³⁺ and [Cr(Ino)(Gly)(H₂O)₃]²⁺ (Ino?=?Inosine and Gly?=?Glycine) involving a ligands of biological significance by N-bromosuccinimide (NBS) in aqueous solution to chromium(VI) have been studied spectrophotometrically over the 25–45°C range. The reaction is first order with respect to both [NBS] and [Cr], and increases with pH over the 6.64–7.73 range in both cases. The experimental rate law is consistent with a mechanism in which the hydroxy complexes [Cr(Ino)(H₂O)₄(OH)]²⁺ and [Cr(Ino)(Gly)(H₂O)₂(OH)]⁺ are significantly more reactive than their conjugate acids. The value of the intramolecular electron transfer rate constant, k ₁, for the oxidation of the [Cr(Ino)(H₂O)₅]³⁺ (6.90?×?10^?4?s^?1) is lower than the value of k ₂ (9.66?×?10^?2?s^?1) for the oxidation of [Cr(Ino)(Gly)(H₂O)₂]²⁺ at 35°C and I?=?0.2?mol?dm^?3. The activation parameters have been calculated. Electron transfer apparently takes place via an inner-sphere mechanism.

Dioxygen binding and activation by a highly reactive Cr(II) compound containing S,N-donors derived from o-aminothiophenol

We report the synthesis, characterization, and reactivity of a Cr(II) complex, [Cr(H₂O)(L^ISQ)₂] (1) [(L^ISQ)^1? is o-iminothionebenzosemiquinonate(1?) π-radical], that is highly stable in solid state in the presence of air but undergoes spontaneous change in solution, both in the presence and absence of air. Physicochemical studies in solution show that a superoxo-Cr^III species, [Cr(O₂)(OH)(L^ISQ)₂]^? is generated initially in DMF solution of 1 in the presence of air owing to its immediate deprotonation followed by O₂ binding to the deprotonated species. The formation of this superoxo-Cr^III species is prominent and gradual in the presence of CH₃OH, a scavenger of CrO²⁺ species. This Cr(O₂)²⁺ species in turn is converted to another highly reactive O=Cr(IV) intermediate [O=Cr(OH)(L^ISQ)₂]^? which undergoes disproportionation producing an unstable O=Cr(V) species, [O=Cr(OH)(L^ISQ)₂] and a stable Cr(III) compound, [Cr(OH)(DMF)(L^ISQ)₂] (2). The rate of this disproportionation is enhanced in the presence of MnCl₂, [N(n-Bu)₄]PF₆ and KSCN. The generated O=Cr(IV) species interacts with DNA with complete cleavage. The O=Cr(V) species slowly disappears from solution as revealed from EPR studies.

Kinetics and mechanism of electron-transfer in the aquaethylene-diaminetetraacetatochromium(iii)/n-bromosuccinimide reaction

Summary The oxidation of aquaethylenediaminetetraacetatochromium(III) [Cr(HEDTA)(H₂O)] with N-bromosuccinimide (NBS) to yield chromium(VI) has been studied spectrophotometrically over the 20–40° C range. The rate is first order with respect to both reactants and increases with decreasing [H⁺] between pH 6.0 and 6.8. The thermodynamic activation parameters were calculated. The experimental rate law is consistent with a mechanism in which the deprotonated [Cr(EDTA)(OH)]^2- and protonated [Cr(EDTA)(H₂O)]^- are the reactive species. It is proposed that electron transfer proceeds via an inner sphere mechanism.Abstracted from the PhD thesis of Alaa El-Din M. Abdel-Hady.     

Biphasic Oxidation of cis‐Diaquabis(1,10‐phenanthroline)chromium(III) by N‐Bromosuccinimide and the Formation of Chromium(IV) and Chromium(V)

The oxidation of cis‐diaquabis(1,10‐phenanthroline)chromium(III) [cis‐Cr^III(phen)₂(H₂O)₂]³⁺ by ‐bromosuccinimide (NBS) to yield cis‐dioxobis(1,10‐phenanthroline)chromium(V) has been studied spectrophotometrically in the pH 1.57–3.56 and 5.68–6.68 ranges at 25.0°C. The reaction displayed biphasic kinetics at pH < 4.0 and a simple first order at the pH > 5.0. In the low pH range, the reaction proceeds by two successive steps; the first faster step corresponds to the oxidation of Cr(III) to Cr(IV), and the second slower one corresponds to the oxidation of Cr(IV) to Cr(V), the final product of the reaction. The formation of both Cr(IV) and Cr(V) has been detected by electron spin resonance (ESR). The ESR clearly showed the formation and decay of Cr(IV) as well as the formation of Cr(V). Each oxidation process exhibited a first‐order dependence on the initial [Cr(III)]. The pseudo–first‐order rate constants k₃₄ and k₄₅, for the faster and slower steps, respectively, were obtained by a computer program using Origin7.0. Both rate constants showed first‐order dependence on [NBS] and increased with increasing pH.     

Metal-ligand coordination and antiradical activity of a trichromium(III) complex with the flavonoid naringenin

The trinuclear chromium(III) complex [Cr₃O(CH₃CO₂)₆(L)(H₂O)₂] (where L is the monoanion of the flavonoid naringenin) was synthesized and characterized. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations and quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM) analysis show that the flavonoid binds to Cr^III as an O,O-bidentate ligand via the 5-hydroxy and 4-oxo groups. Reactions with 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) indicate that the antiradical activity of this flavonoid-metal complex is enhanced in comparison with uncoordinated naringenin.     

Solution and solid state studies with the bis-oxalato building block [Cr(pyim)(C2O4)2]− [pyim = 2-(2′-pyridyl)imidazole]

The preparation, X-ray structure, and variable temperature magnetic study of the new compound {Ba(H₂O)_3/2[Cr(pyim)(C₂O₄)₂]₂}_n·9/2nH₂O (1) [pyim = 2-(2′-pyridyl)imidazole and C₂O₄^2? = dianion of oxalic acid], together with the potentiometric and spectrophotometric studies of the protonation/deprotonation equilibria of the pyim ligand and the ternary complex [Cr(pyim)(C₂O₄)₂]^?, are reported herein. The crystal structure of 1 consists of neutral chains, with diamond-shaped units sharing barium(II), with the two other corners occupied by chromium(III). The two metal centers are connected through bis(bidentate) oxalate. Very weak antiferromagnetic interactions between the chromium(III) ions occur in 1. The values of the protonation constants of the imidazole and pyridyl fragments of pyim as well as the acidity constant of the coordinated pyim in [Cr(pyim)(C₂O₄)₂]^? are determined for the first time by potentiometry and UV–Vis spectroscopy in aqueous solution (25?°C and 0.15 M NaNO₃ as ionic strength).     

Solubility and Phase Behavior of Cr(III) Oxides in Alkaline Media at Elevated Temperatures

A platinum-lined, flowing autoclave facility is used to investigate the solubility behavior of Cr₂O₃ and FeCr₂O₄ in alkaline sodium phosphate, sodium hydroxide, and ammonium hydroxide solutions between 21 and 288°C. Baseline Cr(III) ion solubilities were found to be on the order of 0.1 nmolal, which were enhanced by the formation of anionic hydroxo and phosphato complexes. At temperatures below 51°C, the activity of Cr(III) ions in aqueous solution is controlled by a Cr(OH)₃·3H₂O solid phase rather than Cr₂O₃; above 51°C the saturating solid phase is -CrOOH. Measured chromium solubilities were interpreted via a Cr(III) ion hydrolysis/complexing model and thermodynamic functions for the hydrolysis/complexing reaction equilibria were obtained from least-squares analyses of the data. The existence of four new Cr(III) ion complexes is reported: Cr(OH)₃(H₂PO₄)^–, Cr(OH)₃(HPO₄)^2–, Cr(OH)₃(PO₄)^3–, and Cr(OH)₄(HPO₄)-(H₂PO₄)^4–. The last species is the dominant Cr(III) ion complex in concentrated, alkaline phosphate solutions at elevated temperatures.     

A New Hydroxo‐bridged Chromium(III) Dimer [Cr(saltn)OH]2·4H2O: Synthesis,Crystal Structure and Magnetic Properties

A new hydroxo‐bridged dimeric Cr(III) complex [Cr(saltn)OH]₂·4H₂O [H₂saltn=N,N′‐bis(salicylidene)trimethylenediamine] has been synthesized and its structural and magnetic properties have been investigated. The complex crystallizes in the triclinic space group P‐1 with one dimeric formula unit in a cell of dimensions a=0.95828(19) nm, b=0.95926(19) nm, c=1.0437(2) nm, α=86.77(3)°, β=82.48(3)°, and γ=64.93(3)°. The geometry around each chromium(III) center is six‐coordinate, distorted‐octahedral. The bridging Cr₂O₂ unit is strictly planar, as required by the crystallographic symmetry. The Cr? O? Cr′ bridging angle is 99.94(16)°, and the distance between Cr…Cr′ is 0.3019 nm. The magnetic susceptibility of the complex has been examined in the range of 2‐300 K. By using the spin‐spin coupled model for an S₁=S₂=3/2 dimeric system , the magnetic data were fitted to give the parameters of g=2.01(1), J=‐0.85(2) cm^‐1, and zJ' =0.18(3)cm^‐1, indicating the presence of a weak antiferromagnetic spin‐exchange interaction between the Cr(III) ions in the binuclear complex.     

Formation of Cr(III) Hydroxides from Chrome Alum Solutions: 1. Precipitation of Active Chromium Hydroxide

The formation of active chromium hydroxide, Cr(OH)₃·3H₂O, was studied through potentiometric titrations and turbidimetric measurements. UV-Vis and IR spectroscopies were also employed to characterize the synthesized solid. The rapid addition of NaOH solution to aqueous chrome alum (KCr(SO₄)₂·12H₂O) solutions caused the immediate precipitation of the active material. Only monomeric Cr(III) species seemed to be participating in the precipitation process; neither chromium polymers nor complexes with anions (SO²⁻₄, Cl⁻, NO⁻₃, ClO⁻₄) influenced the fast formation of Cr(OH)₃·3H₂O. Titration studies allowed the determination of several hydrolysis and precipitation constants for Cr(III). Nevertheless, they cannot be used for the estimate of Cr(OH)⁰₃formation constant.     

Kinetics and Mechanism of Oxidation of Chromium(III)‐guanosine 5‐Monophosphate Complex by Periodate

The kinetics of oxidation of the chromium(III)‐guanosine 5‐monophosphate complex, [Cr^III(L)(H₂O)₄]³⁺(L = guanosine 5‐monophosphate) by periodate in aqueous solution to Cr^VI have been studied spectrophotometrically over the 25–45 °C range. The reaction is first order with respect to both [IO₄^?] and [Cr^III], and increases with pH over the 2.38–3.68 range. Thermodynamic activation parameters have been calculated. It is proposed that electron transfer proceeds through an inner‐sphere mechanism via coordination of IO₄^? to chromium(III).     

Electron transfer to oxochromate(V) mediated through a sulphur bond

Reduction of carboxylato bound chromium(V) by several reducing agents such as N₂H₄, NH₂OH, Ti(III), Fe(II), VO²⁺, U(IV) formed part of earlier studies in which electron transfer to Cr(V) seems to occur through nitrogen or by inner or outer sphere path. In the chromium(V) oxidation of lactic acid, saturation kinetics has been observed and the association constant,K, evaluated from a double reciprocal plot, indicates weak interaction between reactants. In contrast, the reduction of Cr(V) by thiolactic acid exhibits total second order kinetics-first order with respect to each reactant. Probably the Cr^v-S bond is weaker than the Cr^v-O bond and electron transfer mediated through the sulphur system is facile. Under identical conditions Cr(VI) seems to be a better oxidant for lactic than for thiolactic acid.     

A unique example of a co-crystal of [Ag(atr)2][Cr(dipic)2] (dipic = dipicolinate; atr = 3-amino-1H-1,2,4-triazole) and dinuclear [Cr(H2O)(dipic)(μ-OH)]2, with different coordination environment of Cr(III) ions

Treatment of a neutral aqueous solution of dipicolinic acid (dipicH₂), 3-amino-1H-1,2,4-triazole (atr) and CrCl₃·6H₂O in the presence of AgNO₃ (in molar ratio 1:1:1:3) under hydrothermal condition led to the formation of a co-crystal of {[Ag(atr)₂][Cr(dipic)₂]}₂·[Cr(H₂O)(dipic)(μ-OH)]₂·4H₂O (1). Compound 1 was characterized by elemental analyses, IR and UV-Vis spectroscopy as well as X-ray diffraction studies. The structure consists of two [Ag(atr)₂]⁺ cations, two [Cr(dipic)₂]⁻ anions, one co-crystallized neutral dinuclear chromium(III) complex, [Cr(H₂O)(dipic)(μ-OH)]₂, and four co-crystallized water molecules. Silver(I) ion in [Ag(atr)₂]⁺ is coordinated by two monodentate 3-amino-1H-1,2,4-triazole ligands, bound via endocyclic nitrogen atoms, in a linear fashion. Chromium(III) ion is octahedrally coordinated by two O,N,O-tridentate dipicolinate ligands in anionic complex. Each chromium(III) ion in neutral dinuclear complex, [Cr(H₂O)(dipic)(μ-OH)]₂, is octahedrally coordinated by one O,N,O-tridentate dipicolinate ligand, one water molecule and two bridging μ-OH ions in cis position. Thermal methods (TGA/DTA) confirm the number of co-crystallized water molecules in 1.     

Kinetic studies on the reduction of a nickel (III) oxime-imine complex by sulphur(IV) and selenium(IV)

The kinetics of the reduction of [Ni^III(L¹)]²⁺ (where HL¹ = 15-amino-3-methyl-4,7,10,13-tetraazapentadec-3-en-2-one oxime) by sulphur(IV) and selenium (IV) over the regions pH 2.50–8.02 and 2.01–4.00 respectively have been investigated at 30°C. Attempts were made to evaluate the reactivity of all the reacting species, of sulphur(IV) and selenium(IV) by considering suitable pH ranges. The oxidation of SC₂·H₂O and HSO ₃ ⁻ is proposed to proceed through the formation of a hydrogen-bonded adduct. The reaction with SO ₃ ²⁻ seems to follow a direct outer-sphere route which is well supported by Marcus crossrelation calculation. The oxidation of HSeO _l3 ⁻ is ≈ 10³ times slower than that of H₂SeO₃. The kinetic data indicate that the oxidation of sulphur(IV) by [Ni^IIIL¹)]²⁺ is much more favourable as compared to the corresponding oxidation of selenium(IV).     

Kinetics of anation of chromium(III) by L-phenylalanine

Summary The kinetics of anation of chromium(III) species, [Cr(H₂O)₆]⁴⁺ and [Cr(H₂O)₅OH]²⁺, by L-phenylalanine in aqueous acid has been studied spectrophotometrically. Effects of varying [substrate], [ligand], [H⁺], , % ethanol and temperature were investigated. The kinetic data suggest a mechanism where outersphere-associations [between chromium(III) species and phenylalanine in the zwitterionic form] precede anation. Comparison of the results with published data suggest an I_a path for the [Cr(H₂O)₆]³⁺ reaction and I_d path for the [Cr(H₂O)₅OH]²⁺ reaction.
