Kinetics and mechanism of the interaction of DL-methionine with cis-diaquaethylenediamine platinum(II) perchlorate in aqueous medium

The kinetics of the interaction of DL-methionine with [Pt(en)(H2O)2]2+ have been studied spectrophotometrically as a function of [Pt(en)(H2O)22+], [DL-methionine], PH and temperature. The reaction proceeds via a rapid outer sphere association followed by two slow consecutive steps having first order dependence on the aqua ion and methionine concentrations. Activation parameters have been evaluated using the Eyring equation. The low H1 (15.6 kJ mol–1) and large negative value of S1 (–230 J K–1 mol–1) as well as H2 (19.5 kJ mol–1) and S2 (–226 J K–1 mol–1) indicate an associative mode of activation for both the aqua ligand substitution processes in the two consecutive steps.     

Kinetics and mechanism of the interaction of adenosine with cis‐diaqua(cis‐1,2‐diaminocyclohexane)platinum(II) perchlorate in aqueous medium

The kinetics of the interaction of adenosine with cis‐[Pt(cis‐dach)(OH₂)₂]²⁺ (dach = diaminocyclohexane) was studied spectrophotometrically as a function of [cis‐[Pt(cis‐dach)(OH₂)₂]²⁺], [adenosine], and temperature at a particular pH (4.0), where the substrate complex exists predominantly as the diaqua species and the ligand adenosine exists as a neutral molecule. The substitution reaction shows two consecutive steps: the first is the ligand‐assisted anation followed by a chelation step. The activation parameters for both the steps have been evaluated using Eyring equation. The low negative value of ΔH^≠₁ (43.1 ± 1.3 kJ mol^?1) and the large negative value of ΔS^≠₁ (?177 ± 4 J K^?1 mol^?1) along with ΔH^≠₂ (47.9 ± 1.8 kJ mol^?1) and ΔS^≠₂ (?181 ± 6 J K^?1 mol^?1) indicate an associative mode of activation for both the aqua ligand substitution processes. The kinetic study was substantiated by infrared and electrospray ionization mass spectroscopic analysis. © 2011 Wiley Peiodicals, Inc. Int J Chem Kinet 43: 219–229, 2011

Kinetics and mechanism of aqua ligand substitution from cis-diaqua(cis-1,2-diaminocyclohexane)platinum(II)perchlorate by diethyldithiocarbamate anion in aqueous medium

The kinetics of the interaction of diethyldithiocarbamate (Et₂DTC) with [Pt(dach)(H₂O)₂]²⁺ (dach = cis-1,2-diaminocyclohexane) have been studied spectrophotometrically as a function of [Pt(dach)(H₂O)₂ ²⁺], [Et₂DTC] and temperature at a particular pH (4.0). The reaction proceeds via rapid outer sphere association complex formation followed by two slow consecutive steps. The first step involves the transformation of the outer sphere complex into an inner sphere complex containing a Pt–S bond and one aqua ligand, while the second step involves chelation when the second aqua ligand is replaced. The association equilibrium constant K _E and two rate constants k ₁ and k ₂ have been evaluated. Activation parameters for both the steps have been calculated (∆H ₁ ^# = 66.8 ± 3.7 kJ mol⁻¹, ∆S ₁^# = −81 ± 12 JK⁻¹ mol⁻¹ and ∆H ₂^# = 95.1 ± 2.8 kJ mol⁻¹, ∆S ₂^# = −34.4 ± 9.1 JK⁻¹ mol⁻¹). The low enthalpy of activation and negative entropy of activation indicate an associative mode of activation for both the steps.     

Kinetics of substitution of aqua ligands from cis-diaqua(ethylenediamine)platinum(II) perchlorate by DL-penicillamine in aqueous medium

The kinetics of the interaction of DL-penicillamine with [Pt(en)(H₂O)₂]²⁺ have been studied spectrophotometrically as a function of [Pt(en)(H₂O)₂]²⁺, [DL-penicillamine] and temperature at pH 4.0. The reaction proceeds via rapid outer sphere association complex formation, followed by two slow consecutive steps. The first is the conversion of the aforementioned complex into the inner sphere complex and the second is the slower chelation step whereby another aqua ligand is replaced. The association equilibrium constant (K _E) for the outer sphere complex formation has been evaluated together with rate constants for the two subsequent steps. Activation parameters have been calculated for both steps using the Eyring equation (H ₁ = 46.5 ± 5.0 kJ mol^–1, S ₁ = – 143.0 ± 15.0 J K^–1 mol^–1, H ₂ = 44.3 ± 1.3 kJ mol^–1, S ₂ = –189.0 ± 4.2 J K^–1 mol^–1). The low enthalpy of activation and large negative entropy of activation values indicate an associative mode of activation for both aqua ligand substitution processes.     

Kinetics and mechanism of the reaction between silver(III) and thiourea in aqueous alkaline media

The tetrahydroxoargentate(III) ion, Ag(OH)₄⁻, is rapidly reduced by thiourea (tu) in accordance with the three term rate law RATE = {k₁+(k₂+k₃[OH⁻])[tu]}[Ag^III] where k₁ = 1.08 s⁻¹, k₂ = 1.46 x 10³ M⁻¹ s⁻¹, and k₃ = 2.02 x 10³ M⁻² s⁻¹. The k₁ path occurs via the rate-determining aquation of Ag(OH)₄⁻ while the other two paths involve axial attack of thiourea on silver. The higher values of k₂ and k₃ compared to the ethylenediamine reaction, which obeys the same rate law, is a reflection of the greater nucleophilicity of tu.

Following the redox reaction, solutions become brown in a reaction that obeys pseudo-first-order kinetics. Similar behaviour is observed when tu is replaced by Na₂S or thio-acetamide and when Ag^I reacts with any of these sulphur containing compounds. We attribute this process to the Ag^I promoted formation of sulphide species which eventually precipitate as Ag₂S.     

Kinetics and mechanism of interaction of Pt(II) complex with bio-active ligands and in vitro Pt(II)-sulfur adduct formation in aqueous medium: bio-activity and computational study

Kinetics of interaction between [Pt(pic)(H₂O)₂](ClO₄)₂, 2 (where pic = 2-aminomethylpyridine) with the selected ligands DL-methionine (DL-meth) and DL-penicillamine (DL-pen) have been studied spectrophotometrically in aqueous medium separately as a function of [2] as well as [ligand], pH and temperature at constant ionic strength. The association equilibrium constants (K_E) for the outer sphere complex formation have been evaluated together with the rate constants for the two subsequent steps. Activation parameters (enthalpy of activation ΔH^≠ and entropy of activation ΔS^≠) were calculated from the Eyring equation. An associative mechanism of substitution is proposed for both reactions on the basis of the kinetic observations, evaluated activation parameters, and spectroscopic data. Structural optimizations, HOMO-LUMO energy calculation, and Natural Bond Orbital (NBO) analysis of 2–4 were carried out with Density Functional Theory. Bonding mode of thiol and thio-ether is confirmed by spectroscopic analyses and NBO calculation. Cytotoxic properties of 2–4 were explored on A549 carcinoma cell lines; DNA-binding properties of the complexes were also investigated by gel electrophoresis.     

Kinetics of the oxidation of isopropanol by aquosilver(II) ions in aqueous perchlorate media

A quantitative examination of the acetone produced from the oxidation of isopropanol by Ag_aq^II shows that two Ag_aq^IIions are consumed for each isopropanol molecule, and the kinetics show that the reaction involves the direct attack of an Ag_aq^II ion on an isopropanol molecule without involving intermediate Ag_aq^III. The overall reaction is insensitive to change in acidity, as found previously in the oxidation of secondary alcohols by direct attack of Mn_aq^III. To explain the effect of Ag^I on the rate, a back reaction is postulated, analogous to that found previously in the oxidation of methanol by Mn_aq^III. The free energy, energy and entropy of activation are compared with those found for the oxidation of isopropanol by other cations.     

Kinetics and mechanism of the reactions of hexaaqua rhodium (III) with sulphur (IV) in aqueous medium

An O-bonded sulphito complex, Rh(OH₂)₅(OSO₂H)²⁺, is reversibly formed in the stoppedflow time scale when Rh(OH₂) ₆ ³⁺ and SO₂/HSO ₃ ⁻ buffer (1 <pH< 3) are allowed to react. For Rh(OH₂)₅OH₂₊+ SO₂ □ Rh(OH₂)₅(OSO₂H)²⁺ (k₁/k_-1), k₁ = (2.2 ±0.2) × 10³ dm³ mol⁻¹ s⁻¹, k₋1 = 0.58 ±0.16 s⁻¹ (25°C,I = 0.5 mol dm⁻³). The protonated O-sulphito complex is a moderate acid (K _d = 3 × 10⁻⁴ mol dm⁻³, 25°C, I= 0.5 mol dm⁻³). This complex undergoes (O, O) chelation by the bound bisulphite withk= 1.4 × 10⁻³ s⁻¹ (31°C) to Rh(OH₂)₄(O₂SO)⁺ and the chelated sulphito complex takes up another HSO ₃ ⁻ in a fast equilibrium step to yield Rh(OH₂)₃(O₂SO)(OSO₂H) which further undergoes intramolecular ligand isomerisation to the S-bonded sulphito complex: Rh(OH₂)₃(O₂SO)(OSO₂)^- → Rh(OH₂)₃(O₂SO)(SO₃)⁻ (k _iso = 3 × 10⁻⁴ s⁻¹, 31°C). A dinuclear (μ-O, O) sulphite-bridged complex, Na₄[Rh₂(μ-OH)₂(OH)₂(μ-OS(O)O)(O₂SO)(SO₃) (OH₂)]5H₂O with (O, O) chelated and S-bonded sulphites has been isolated and characterized. This complex is sparingly soluble in water and most organic solvents and very stable to acid-catalysed decomposition

Kinetics of substitution of aqua ligands from cis‐diaqua (ethylenediamine)platinum(II) perchlorate by L‐asparagine in aqueous medium

The kinetics of the interaction of L ‐asparagine with [Pt(ethylenediamine)(H₂O)₂]²⁺ have been studied spectrophotometrically as a function of [Pt(ethylenediamine)(H₂O)₂²⁺], [L ‐asparagine], and temperature at pH 4.0, where the substrate complex exists predominantly as the diaqua species and L ‐asparagine as the zwitterion. The substitution reaction shows two consecutive steps: the first step is the ligand‐assisted anation and the second one is the chelation step. Activation parameters for both the steps have been calculated using Eyring equation. The low ΔH₁^≠ (43.59 ± 0.96 kJ mol^?1) and large negative values of ΔS₁^≠ (?116.98 ± 2.9 J K^?1 mol^?1) as well as ΔH₂^≠ (33.78 ± 0.51 kJ mol^?1) and ΔS₂^≠ (?221.43 ± 1.57 J K^?1 mol^?1) indicate an associative mode of activation for both the aqua ligand substitution processes. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Kinetics and mechanism of oxidation of N,N-bis(salicylaldehyde-1,2-diaminoethane) cobalt(II) by N-bromosuccinimide in aqueous acidic medium

The kinetics of oxidation of N,N-bis(salicylaldehyde-1,2-diaminoethane) cobalt(II) complex by N-bromosuccinimide (NBS) in aqueous acid and H₂O–MeOH solvent mixtures were studied spectrophotometrically over the 20–40 °C range, 0.1–0.5 mol dm^?3 ionic strength, 2.2–2.8 pH range and 0–40 wt% MeOH–H₂O solvent mixtures for a range of NBS and complex concentrations. The rate shows first-order dependence on both [NBS] and [complex] and decreases with pH over the range studied. The protonated form of N-bromosuccinimide was identified as the main reactive species. An inner-sphere mechanism involving free radicals is proposed.     

Kinetics and mechanism of the oxidation of N-methylformamide and N,N-dimethylformamide by silver (II) in aqueous perchlorate media and comparison with oxidation by CoIII and MnIII

Detailed measurements on the kinetics and stoichiometry of the oxidation of N-methylformamide and N,N-dimethylformamide by aquosilver (II) ions are reported. Four Ag ions are consumed for each amide, and the reaction is first order in [Ag] and first order in [amide]. The reaction is inversely dependent on acidity in the range of 1.5–5.0M HClO₄. The oxidation rate is independent of [Ag^I] and ionic strength. The proposed reaction mechanism and activation parameters are compared with those found for the oxidation of amides by other oxidants such as cobalt(III) and manganese(III).     

Study of redox behavior of Cd(II) and interaction of Cd(II) with proline in the aqueous medium using cyclic voltammetry

The redox behavior of Cd(II) and the interaction of Cd(II) with cyclic amino acid, proline, have been studied in 0.1 M KCl, 0.1 M NaClO₄ and acetate buffer of different pH. The CVs were recorded at glassy carbon electrode within the potential window 200 and ?1500 mV. The reference and counter electrode used were Ag/AgCl and Pt wire, respectively. The cyclic voltammograms show one pair of cathodic and anodic peaks for the Cd(II)/Cd(0) system indicating the involvement of two electron transfer processes. The peak potential shift and charge transfer rate constant (k_f) values strongly support the interaction between metal and ligand. The higher value of peak current ratio and peak potential separation (ΔE) indicate that the systems are quasireversible. The effect of supporting electrolyte and concentration of electro active species on the interaction were also studied.

Summary The kinetic behaviour of cis-[Ru(bipy)₂(H₂O)₂]²⁺ towards the anating ligand pyridine-2-aldoxime as a function of temperature, ligand concentration, substrate complex concentration and pH is reported and the rate expression Rate = k ₁ k ₂[Ru(bipy)₂(H₂O)₂]²⁺ [LL]/(k _-1 + k ₂[LL]) is established where k ₁ is the water dissociation rate constant for the slow step, k _-1 is the rate constant for the aquation, k ₂ is the ligand-capturing rate constant of the five-coordinate intermediate [Ru(bipy)₂(H₂O)]²⁺ and LL is pyridine-2-aldoxime. The reaction is pH-dependent in the pH range 3.65–5.50. The enthalpy and entropy of activation were obtained using Eyring plots. The results are in conformity with a dissociative mechanism.
