The relaxation kinetics of the reaction of iodide with cobalamin (vitamin B12) were studied on a high pressure laser temperature jump apparatus in aqueous solution at 25° and ionic strength 0.2 M. Analysis of the pressure dependence of the formation and dissociation rate constants gave their respective volumes of activation to be: ΔVf* = 5.50 ± 0.8 cm3 mol−1 and ΔVd* = 11.5 ± 1.6 cm3 mol−1 The positive activation volume for formation of the complex, ΔVf*, after appropriate correction for the volume change due to formation of an outer sphere complex, is consistent with a dissociative type mechanism in which the metal ion – water bond is stretched in the activated complex.

The kinetics of the binding of Br− to Fe(III) were studied as a function of [H+] and [Br−] on a high pressure laser temperature jump apparatus up to 2.76 kbar. At constant [H+] the pseudo first order rate constant for formation of FeBr2+ showed little dependence on pressure or on [Br−] over the range 0.02 to 1.9 M. The results were interpreted by a mechanism in which Fe3+ and FeOH2+ react with Br− to form ion pairs prior to formation of their inner sphere complexes. The kinetic activation volume for the conversion of the Fe3+, Br− ion pair to FeBr2+ appears to be quite negative, consistent with an associative interchange (Ia) mechanism.

The volumes of activation for the kinetics of the reaction of Cl− with Fe3+ and FeOH2+ have been determined by a laser temperature jump relaxation method at pressures up to 2.76 kbar. The results indicate that the two species, FeOH2+ and Fe3+, react with Cl− by different mechanisms. The activation volume for the binding of Cl− to FeOH2+ is positive (7.8 ± 1.0 cm3 mol−1), which is consistent with a dissociative interchange mechanism. The activation volume for the binding of Cl−1 to Fe3+ is negative (–4.5 ± 1.1 cm3 mol−1), which is consistent with an associative interchange mechanism.
