Abstract: | The kinetics of the reaction of CH2O with a quasi-aromatic metal complex (1,1,2,8,9,9-hexamethyl-4,6-dioxa-5-hydro-3,7,10,14-tetraazacyclotetradecane-2,7,10,12-tetraene)copper(II), [Cu(PnAO)-6H]0 (AH), have been studied spectrophotometrically under neutral conditions in 1/3(v/v) MeOH–H2O. The Cu, 2N, 3C quasi-aromatic heterocyclic ring in AH is highly reactive towards CH2O at the central-aromatic-carbon atom, C(12) and the following reaction mechanism is proposed.The compounds AH, A—CH2OH and A—CH2—A were isolated and identified by i.r spectroscopy and by elemental analysis. The kinetic data supported the proposed reaction sequence. All reactions were second order overall. The rate constants and corresponding activation parameters for every step were obtained and are discussed. |
