Abstract: | Reactions of carbonate radical (Co3
−) generated by photolysis or by radiolysis of a carbonate solution, with Cu(II) complexes of aminopolycarboxylic acids viz.,
Cu(II)ethylenediamine tetraacetate CuIIEDTA]2− and Cu(II)-iminodiacetate CuIIIDA] were studied at pH 10. 5 and ionic strength 0.2 mol·dm−3. Time-resolved spectroscopy and kinetics for the transients were studied using flash photolysis and stable products arising
from the ligand degradation of the complex were ascertained by steady-state radiolysis experiments. From the kinetic data
it is observed that CO3
−, radical reacts initially with CuII-complex to form a transient intermediate having maximum absorption at 335 nm and 430 nm. From the subsequent reactions of
this intermediate it was assigned to be CuIII. species. This Cu(III) species undergoes intermolecular electron transfer with the CuII-complex to give a radical intermediate which again slowly reacts with CuII-complex to give a long lived species containing Cu−C bond. This long lived species, however, slowly decomposed to give glyoxalic
reaction between CuIII-complex and a suitable donor, the one electron reduction potential for CuIIIEDTA]1−/CuIIEDTA]2− and CuIIIIDA]+1/CuIIIDA was determined. |
