Abstract: | Summary Cyanide ion reacts with Fe(Par)2]2–,i.e. Par=4-(2-pyridylazo)resorcinol to form a 113 mixed cyanocomplex. The reaction has been studied spectrophotometrically at 720 nm
max, pH=11.5±0.02, and I=0.1 M (NaClO4) at 25±0.1°C. The order with respect to cyanide varies from one to two at high and low cyanide concentrations respectively. The rate constants for respective reactions are k1=(6.1±0.3)×10–2 M–1 s–1, k2=(12.6±1.0) M–2 s–1. The reverse reaction does not occur at a measurable rate even in presence of a large excess of Par. These observations suggest that Fe(Par)2]2– forms a mixed FePar(CN)3]3– complex in presence of an excess of cyanide ion. The activation parameters for the reaction have been calculated and used to support a three step mechanism consistent with these results. The effect of ionic strength tends further support to the mechanism. |
