The kinetics of the outer-sphere electron transfer reactions of tris(1,1′-dioxo-2,2′-bipyridine)cobalt(II) and (III) with a series of nickel polyaza macrocycles, FeL3n+ and OsL32+ complexes (L is 2,2′-bipyridine or 1,10-phenanthroline, and substituted derivatives), and Rh2(O2CCH3)4(CH3CN)2+ have been investigated in acetonitrile at 25.0 °C. An application of the Marcus theory relationship to the cross-reaction rate constants yielded apparent Co(bpyO2)32+/3+ self-exchange rate constants of 102 M−1 s−1 from the nickel macrocycle cross-reactions and 10−1 M−1 s−1 from the cross-reactions with the metal polypyridine complexes. The latter cross-reactions are considered to be non-adiabatic due to a mismatch in the donor/acceptor orbital symmetries. The electron exchange rate constant is compared with the exchange rate constants for other Co(II)/Co(III) complex couples and M(bpyO2)32+/3+ couples of other first-row transition metals, and discussed in terms of inner-sphere and solvent reorganization barriers. Keywords: electron transfer, Marcus theory relationship, cobalt(II)/(III) couples, 1,1′-dioxo-2,2′-bipyridine.

The reactions of the outer-sphere electron transfer reagent, Ni(9-aneN3)23+, (bis(1,4,7-triazacyclononane)nickel(III) ion) with ascorbic acid, hydroquinone, catechol, and resorcinol have been investigated. The absence of any proton related equilibria with the oxidant provides a means of ascribing the observed inverse hydrogen ion dependences to reactions of the dissociated ascorbate or quinolate ions, (HA−). The data are consistent with the rate-determining one-electron transfer reactions:[Formula: see text]followed by rapid oxidation of the radical ions formed. In the reaction with ascorbic acid, k1 ~ 0 and k2 (T = 25° C) = 5.2 × 106 M−1 s−1 (ΔH≠ = 10.1 ± 2.5 kcal mol−1, ΔS≠ = 5.7 ± 5.1 cal mol−1 K−1). For hydroquinone, catechol, and resorcinol, k1 = 2.9 × 103, 2.8 × 102, and ~0 M−1 s−1and k2 = 6.9 × 109, 4.1 × 109, and 2.8 × 108 M−1 s−1, respectively. These data have been combined with those from other similar reactions leading, by use of a Marcus correlation, to self-exchange rate constants for the HAsc−/HAsc• couple of 3.5 × 105 M−1 s−1 and for the H2Quin0/+ and H2cat0/+ systems of 5 × 107 and 2 × 107 M−1 s−1, respectively. The importance of the effect of bond-reorganisation on electron transfer is discussed.
