Kinetic studies on the oxidation of [N-phenylethylethylenediaminetriacetate]chromium(III) by periodate

Summary Kinetic studies of the oxidation of [Cr^IIIZ(H₂O)](Z=N-phenylethylethylenediaminetriacetate) by periodate ion, to produce chromium(VI), were carried out in aqueous solutions. The reaction is first order with respect to both total chromium(III) and total periodate, and the rate is inversely dependent upon H⁺ in the 5.43–7.02 pH range. The reaction may follow a two-step inner-sphere electron transfer mechanism. The activated parameters are reported. Steric effects of the phenyl ring account for the smaller electron-transfer rate constants for [Cr^IIIZ(H₂O)] compared to [Cr^III(TOH)(H₂O)], (TOH=N-(2-hydroxyethyl)ethylenediaminetriacetate).     

Periodate ion as an oxidant in indicator reactions with aromatic amines

The kinetics of 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) oxidation by sodium periodate in an aqueous solution was studied. For the auto-acceleration regime, the experimental data correspond to the kinetic equation w _t = k[P] _t ^1/2 [IO ₄ ^? ] _t ^1/2 [TMB]₀, where w _t is the accumulation rate of the meriquinoid product (P) of TMB oxidation and [P]_t and [IO ₄ ^? ]_t are the concentrations of product P and periodate, respectively, at time t. A radical chain mechanism was proposed; the mechanism explains the experimental kinetic equation and complies with the observed inhibiting effect of metal ions (Zn, Cd) in this reaction.     

A spectral and polarographic study of the acid--base and complexing behaviour of bromazepam.

A method for the microdetermination of periodate in the presence of iodate is presented. It is based on reduction of periodate to iodate by leucothionine generated in situ by photochemical reaction between EDTA and blue thionine. Biamperometric curves are used for evaluation, representing reduction time for the periodate versus the current generated in the oxidation of the T_red in excess after the end-point. A polarographic study of the process is presented. An applied potential of 100 mV is suitable for the biamperometric measurements with Pt—Pt electrodes. The method is applicable for 0.4–45 ppm periodate. Iodate does not interfere up to IO^-₃ : IO^-₄ ratios of 100:1.     

Kinetics and mechanism of oxidation of bis(2,4,6-tripyridyl 1,3,5-triazine)iron(II) by vanadium(V), periodate and iodate ions in acetate buffers

The kinetics of oxidation of bis(2,4,6-tripyridyl 1,3,5-s-triazine)iron(II) by vanadium(V), periodate and iodate has been studied in acetate buffers by stopped-flow and spectrophotometric methods. The oxidation reaction of bis(2,4,6-tripyridyl 1,3,5-s-triazine)iron(II) by vanadium(V), periodate and iodate follows first order kinetics for the substrate and oxidant. Hydrogen ion has no significant effect on the rate. A generalized mechanism was proposed for these reactions and these reactions follow the rate law: Rate = k [oxidant] [Fe(tptz)₂ ²⁺].     

Oxidation of tris(1, 10-phenanthroline)iron(II) ion by iodate and periodate ions in neutral medium

The reactions of iodate and periodate with Fe(phen)₃²⁺ have been studied in neutral medium iodate ion is unreactive with ferroin in aqueous solution. The reaction is autocatalytic in the case of IO₄⁻. The autocatalysis disappears in an excess of IO₃⁻. The rate constants of both processes were determined and a reaction mechanism has been proposed. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

NMR investigations of the possible cross reactions between cyanate and epoxy resins

The possible cross reactions indicated by solid-state NMR between cyanate functionalized resin and epoxy functionalized resin have been investigated by using both natural abundance and labeled monofunctional model compounds. These soluble products were isolated and purified by silica gel adsorption chromatography and gel permeation chromatography. They were fully characterized by high resolution ¹H-, ¹³C-, ¹⁵N-NMR spectroscopy and by mass spectrometry. The major cross-reaction product is a racemic mixture of enantiomers, which contain an oxazolidinone ring formed by one cyanate molecule and two epoxy molecules. However, epoxy consumption lags cyanate consumption in the overall reaction as triazine formation from the cyanate is much faster than the two competing reactions, the cross reaction between cyanate and epoxy, and the self-polymerization of epoxy, under the conditions investigated. The cross reaction between cyanate and epoxy is limited. Approximately 12% of cross reaction between cyanate and epoxy was found in the overall reaction. In addition to the cross reactions of epoxy and cyanate, the reactions of epoxy and the carbamate, which is the major side product for the curing reaction of cyanate resin in solution, have also been investigated, and the mechanism of these reactions discussed. From the reactions of epoxy and carbamate, several products related to cross reaction between epoxy and cyanate have been isolated and identified. It is suggested that the reaction of epoxy and carbamate is one of the pathways in the overall cross reaction between epoxy and cranate resins. Finally, the mechanism of the overall cross-curing reaction between the diepoxy and dicyanate mixed resins is discussed. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Reaction of inorganic cyanates with halides. II. Reactions of chlorohydrins

The reaction of ethylene and trimethylene chlorohydrins with cyanate ion in anhydrous dimethylformamide (DMF) forms 2-oxazolidinone and tetrahydro-2H-1, 3-oxazin-2-one, respectively. These are the major products over a wide concentration range, and at initial chlorohydrin concentration of 1 M and lower, the yields are high enough to make the reaction useful for synthesis of oxazine and oxazolidine derivatives. The corresponding reaction with tetramethylene chlorohydrin gave tetrahydrofuran as the major product with the by-products being polymeric. Pentamethylene and hexamethylene chlorohydrins yield linear polyurethanes when allowed to react with cyanate in DMF. Examination of the relative rates of reaction of these chlorohydrins indicate that the mechanism by which urethanes are formed (both cyclic and polymeric) is an S_N2 displacement of chloride by cyanate ion to give an isocyanate intermediate which then reacts with an alcohol group to form urethane.     

Kinetics of Oxidation of L-Valine by a Copper(III) Periodate Complex in Alkaline Medium

The kinetics of oxidation of L-valine by a copper(III) periodate complex was studied spectrophotometrically. The inverse second-order dependency on [OH⁻] was due to the formation of the protonated diperiodatocuprate(III) complex ([Cu(H₃IO₆)₂]⁻) from [Cu(H₂IO₆)₂]³⁻. The retarding effect of initially added periodate suggests that the dissociation of copper(III) periodate complex occurs in a pre-equilibrium step in which it loses one periodate ligand. Among the various forms of copper(III) periodate complex occurring in alkaline solutions, the monoperiodatocuprate(III) appears to be the active form of copper(III) periodate complex. The observed second-order dependency of [L-valine] on the rate of reaction appears to result from formation of a complex with monoperiodatocuprate(III) followed by oxidation in a slow step. A suitable mechanism consistent with experimental results was proposed. The rate law was derived as:

A novel turn-on fluorometric “reporter-spacer-receptor” chemosensor based on calix[4]arene scaffold for detection of cyanate anion

Herein, a novel calix[4]arene compound, which was modified by the 2-(2-aminophenyl)benzothiazole fragment with cyanate recognition function was designed based on the reporter-spacer-receptor sensing system. The construction was done via two-step reaction, and the desired sensor 4 was characterized by FT-IR, ¹H-, ¹³C-NMR, and fluorescence spectroscopy along with HRMS data. The sensor candidate showed distinct fluorometric cyanate detection by means of reporter feature of selected benzothiazole constituent. In the presence of cyanate, the sensor gave a turn-on-type fluorescence at 482 nm with a large stokes' shift. Furthermore, it was observed that our fluoroionophore 4 is highly selective toward cyanate over remaining anions such as sulfate, phosphate, fluoride, chloride, bromide, iodide, chlorate, and nitrate in 10% aqueous solution of DMSO. The 1:2 stoichiometric ratio of the 4 -cyanate complex was given the best fit with Job's plot based on the titration data. The association constant (K_a) of sensor 4 with cyanate is determined to be 1.64 × 10⁵ M⁻². The obtained limit of detection (LOD) value for cyanate anion, 312 nM, clearly revealed the remarkable sensitivity of the chemosensor 4 . This supramolecular method provides a highly adaptive technique for the detection of cyanate and so cyanide ions by current international standard methods.     

Kinetics of oxidation of N,N-bis(salicylaldehyde-1,2-diaminoethane) cobalt(II) complex by periodate. Evidence for the inhibiting effect of copper(II)

A kinetic study of the oxidation of [Co(H₂L)(H₂O)₂]²⁺ (H₂L = N,N-bis (salicylaldehyde-1,2-diaminoethane) Schiff base) by periodate in aqueous solution was performed over pH (2.3–3.4) range, (0.1–0.5) mol dm⁻³ ionic strength and temperatures 20–35 °C for a range of periodate and complex concentrations. The reaction rate showed a first-order dependence on both reactants and increased with pH over the range studied. The effects of Cu(II) and Fe(II) on the reaction rate were investigated over the (1.0–9.0) × 10⁻⁵ mol dm⁻³ range. The reaction was inhibited as the concentration of Cu(II) increased, and it was independent on Fe(II) concentrations over the ranges studied. An inner-sphere mechanism is proposed for the oxidation pathways of both the protonated and deprotonated Co^II complex species.     

Kinetics and mechanism of oxidation oftrans-1,2-diaminocyclohexanetetraacetatocobaltate(II) by periodate

Summary The kinetics of oxidation oftrans-1,2-diaminocyclohexanetetraacetatocobaltate(II), Co^IICDTA^2–, by periodate were studied using either excess periodate or excess complex concentrations. When periodate was in excess the reaction showed first-order dependence on [IO ₄ ^– ] and first-order and second-order dependences on [Co^IICDTA^2–]. First-order dependence in each reactant was obtained when the complex was in excess. The reaction rate was found to be independent of pH over the range 4–5, but increasing with increasing ionic strength. The enthalpy and the entropy of activation were calculated using the transition state theory equation.     

catena‐Poly[[bis(nicotinamide‐κN1)copper(I)]‐μ‐thiocyanato‐κ2N:S]

The Cu^I cations in the title compound, [Cu(NCS)(C₆H₆N₂O)₂]_n, are coordinated by N atoms from each of two mirror‐related nicotin­amide ligands, as well as by one N atom of one thio­cyanate ligand and one S atom of a symmetry‐related thio­cyanate ligand, within a slightly distorted tetrahedron. The Cu^I cations and the thio­cyanate anions are located on a crystallographic mirror plane and the nicotin­amide ligands occupy general positions. The Cu^I cations are connected by the thio­cyanate anions to form chains in the direction of the crystallographic a axis. These chains are connected by hydrogen bonds between the amide H atoms and the O atoms of adjacent nicotin­amide ligands, to give a three‐dimensional structure.     

Ruthenium (VIII) mediated oxidation of some aliphatic and alicyclic ketones by periodate-ruthenium (III) system in aqueous HClO4 medium

The kinetics of Ruthenium(III) chloride mediated oxidation of acetone, 2-butanone, 4-methyl-2-pentanone, 2-pentanone, cyclopentanone, and cyclohexanone by sodium periodate in aqueous HClO₄ media was zero-order in [IO₄⁻] and first-order in [ketone]. The reaction was independent of added [Ru(III)] and showed first-order dependence on [H⁺] for all the ketones studied, except acetone. In the case of acetone at [H⁺] < 0.05 M, the rate was independent of [H⁺], the order in [Ru(III)] being unity; but at [H⁺] > 0.05 M the reaction showed unit dependence on [H⁺] and the order in [Ru(III)] was zero. Ruthenium(VIII) generated in situ is postulated as the hydride abstracting species. A mechanism involving enolization as the rate determining step is proposed. Acetone at lower acidity of the medium is shown to react directly with Ru(VIII). In the absence of ruthenium(III) chloride, the kinetics were first-order in [IO₄⁻], [ketone], and [H⁺]. Structure-reactivity relationship is discussed and thermodynamic parameters are reported. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Synthesis,Crystal Structure,Thermal, Spectroscopic and Magnetic Properties of a 2D Grid‐like Copper(II) μ‐1,1 Isocyanato Coordination Polymer with Pyrazine Bridges

Reaction of copper(II) cyanate with pyrazine leads to the formation of [Cu(NCO)₂(pyrazine)]_n ( 1 ), in which the Cu²⁺ cations are coordinated by two nitrogen atoms of the pyrazine ligands, as well as by four nitrogen atoms of the cyanate anions within a slightly distorted octahedral coordination. In the crystal structure the Cu²⁺ cations are connected by the pyrazine ligands into chains which are further linked by the cyanate anions through asymmetric μ‐1,1‐NCO coordination into layers. On heating compound 1 transforms quantitatively to copper(II) cyanate which decompose to elemental copper on further heating. No ligand deficent intermediates are observed. Magnetic measurements reval an antiferromagnetic ordering at lower temperatures mediated by the π‐system of the aromatic pyrazine ligand as well as net ferromagnetic interactions mediated by the μ‐1,1‐NCO bridging cyanato anions. A search in the Cambridge Crystal Structure Database shows that the terminal coordination mode in cyanato complexes as well as their azido and thiocyanato analogs is obviously energetically favored. In addition, a comparison of their symmetric and asymmetric end‐on (μ‐1,1) as well as end‐to‐end (μ‐1,3) bridging modes reveal interesting correlations.     

Inner-sphere oxidation of ternary nitrilotriacetatocobalt(II) complexes involving oxalate and phthalate by periodate

The oxidation of [Co^II(nta)(ox)(H₂O)₂]³⁻ and [Co^II(nta)(ph)(H₂O)₂]³⁻ (nta = nitrilotriacetate, ox = oxalic acid and ph = phthalic acid) by periodate have been studied kinetically in aqueous solution over 20–40 °C and a variety of pH ranges. The rate of oxidation of [Co^II(nta)(ox)(H₂O)₂]³⁻ by periodate, obeys the following equation: d[Co^III]/dt = [Co^II(nta)(ox)(H₂O)₂³⁻][H₅IO₆] {k ₄ K ₅ + (k ₅ K ₆ K ₂/[H⁺]} while the reaction of [Co^II(nta)(ph)(H₂O)₂]³⁻ with periodate in aqueous acidic medium obeys the following rate law: d[Co^III]/dt = k ₆ K ₈[Co^II]_T [I^VII]_T/{1 + [H⁺]/K ₇ + K ₈[I^VII] _T }. Initial cobalt(III) products were formed and slowly converted to final products, fitting an inner-sphere mechanism. Thermodynamic activation parameters have been calculated. A common mechanism for the oxidation of ternary nitrilotriacetatocobalt(II) complexes by periodate is proposed and supported by an excellent isokinetic relationship between ΔH* and ΔS* values for these reactions.     

Kinetic and mechanistic studies of oxidation of amine-N-polycarboxylates complexes of cobalt(II) by periodate ions in aqueous medium

The kinetics and mechanism of interaction of periodate ion with [Co^IIL(H₂O)]^2-n [L = trimethylenediaminetetraaceticacid (TMDTA)] and ethylene glycol bis(2-aminoethyl ether) N,N,N’,N’-tetraaceticacid (EGTA) have been studied spectrophotometrically by following an increase in absorbance at λ_max = 550 nm in acetate buffer medium as a function of pH, ionic strength, temperature, various concentration of periodate and [Co^IIL(H₂O)]^2-n under pseudo-first order conditions. The experimental observations have revealed that the intermediates having sufficiently high half life are produced during the course of both the reactions which finally get converted into a corresponding [Co^IIIL(H₂O)]^3-n complexes as a final reaction product. The reaction is found to obey the general rate law Rate = (k₂ [IO₄ ^?] + k₃ [IO₄ ^?]²) [Co^IIL(H₂O)]^2-n. This rate law is consistent with a four step mechanistic scheme (vide supra) where electron transfer proceeds through an inner sphere complex formation. The value of rate constant k₂ is independent of pH over the entire pH range which suggest that unprotonated form of [Co^IIL(H₂O)]^2-n is the only predominant species. The value of k₂ is invariant to ionic strength variation in both the systems. The value of k₃ is also found to be almost invariant to ionic strength in case of [Co^IITMDTA(H₂O)]^2?-[IO₄]^? system but it decreases considerably in case of [Co^IIEGTA(H₂O)]^2?-[IO₄]^? system with the corresponding decrease in ionic strength. The activation parameters have been computed and given in support of proposed mechanistic scheme.     

Spectral and Mechanistic Investigation of the Osmium(VIII) Catalyzed Oxidation of Diclofenac Sodium by the Copper(III) Periodate Complex in Aqueous Alkaline Medium

The kinetics of the osmium(VIII) (Os(VIII)) catalyzed oxidation of diclofenac sodium (DFS) by diperiodatocuprate(III) (DPC) in aqueous alkaline medium has been studied spectrophotometrically at a constant ionic strength of 1.0 mol⋅dm⁻³. The reaction showed first order kinetics in [Os(VIII)] and [DPC] and less than unit order with respect to [DFS] and [alkali]. The rate decreased with increase in [periodate]. The reaction between DFS and DPC in alkaline medium exhibits 1:2 [DFS]:[DPC] stoichiometry. However, the order in [DFS] and [OH⁻] changes from first order to zero order as their concentration increases. Changes in the ionic strength and dielectric constant did not affect the rate of reaction. The oxidation products were identified by LC-ESI-MS, NMR, and IR spectroscopic studies. A possible mechanism is proposed. The reaction constants involved in the different steps of the mechanism were calculated. The catalytic constant (K _C) was also calculated for Os(VIII) catalysis at the studied temperatures. From plots of log ₁₀ K _C versus 1/T, values of activation parameters have been evaluated with respect to the catalytic reaction. The activation parameters with respect to the slow step of the mechanism were computed and discussed, and thermodynamic quantities were also determined. The active osmium(VIII) and copper(III) periodate species have been identified.     

Degradation of lignin by ozone. I. The kinetics of lignin degradation of ozone

The ozonolysis of spruce periodate and cuoxam lignins and protolignin in spruce wood has been studied in 45% aqueous acetic acid at room temperature. Stirring affected the rate of reaction and a tentative explanation is given. Degradation followed first-order kinetics characterized by a rate constant K with values of 6.96 × 10^?4s^?1 for periodate lignin, 5.10 × 10^?4s^?1 for cuoxam lignin, and 5.09 × 10^?4s^?1 for protolignin in spruce wood. The similarity of the rate constants shows (1) that periodate and cuoxam lignins are good models for wood lignin and (2) that the carbohydrate matrix has an insignificant effect on the rate of delignification of the protolignin by ozone. The average rate of ozone consumption per C₉ unit for periodate lignin was determined as 0.12 mol/min and 0.08 mol/min for cuoxam lignin. The implications of the various results are discussed.     

The kinetics and mechanism of oxidation of hexacyanoferrate(II) by periodate ion in highly alkaline aqueous medium

The oxidation of hexacyanoferrate(II) by periodate ion has been studied spectrophotometrically by registering an increase in absorbance at 420 nm (λ_max of yellow colored [Fe(CN)₆ ^3?] complex under pseudo first-order conditions by taking excess of [IO₄ ^?] over [Fe(CN)₆ ^4?]. The reaction conditions were: pH = 9.5 ± 0.02, I = 0.1 M (NaCl) and Temp. = 25 ± 0.1 °C. The reaction exhibited first-order dependence on each [IO₄ ^?] and [Fe(CN)₆ ^4?]. The effects of variations of pH, ionic strength and temperature were also studied. The experimental observations revealed that the periodate ion exists in its protonated forms viz. [H₂IO₆]^3? and [H₃IO₆]^2? while [Fe(CN)₆]^4? is present in its deprotonated form throughout the pH region selected for the present study. It has also been observed that deprotonated form of [Fe(CN)₆ ^4?] and protonated forms of periodate ion are the most reactive species towards oxidation of [Fe(CN)₆ ^4?]. The repetitive spectral scan is provided as an evidence to prove the conversion of [Fe(CN)₆ ^4?] to [Fe(CN)₆ ^3?] in the present reaction. The activation parameters have also been computed using the Eyring’s plot and found to be, ΔH? = 51.53 ± 0.06 kJ mol^?1, ΔS? = ?97.12 ± 1.57 J K^?1 mol^?1 and provided in support of a most plausible mechanistic scheme for the reaction under study.
