Abstract: | The acid catalysed dissociation of the copper(II) and nickel(II) complexes of 5,7-dioxo-1,4,8,11-tetra-azacyclo-tetradecane
(dioxocyclam = LH2) has been studied using nitric acid solutions over a range of temperatures at I = 1.0 mol dm si-3. The kinetic data for the copper complex can be fitted to the rate expression k
obs = k
K
2H+]/(1 + K
2 H+] with K = 24.7s−1 and K
2 = 65dm3mol−1 at 25° C. The analogous constants for the nickel(II) complex are K = 3.3s−1 and K
2 = 45dm3mol−1. The acid dissociation can be rationalized in terms of the kinetic scheme
