The macrocyclic complex trans-[Co(dtcd)(NO2)Br] [ClO4] (dtcd = 5,12-dimethyl-l,4,8,1l-tetraaza-cyclotetradeca-4,ll-diene) has been prepared and its hydrolysis kinetics investigated. At 25�C and 0.1 M HN03 the aquation occurs with kaq = 6.2 x 10-3 s-1 to give the trans-Co(dtcd)(NO2)- (OH2)]2+ cation. The activation parameters at 298 K are ΔH? = 75.0 kJ mol-1 and ΔS? = -35.6 J K-1 mol-1. Hydrolysis of the bromide in the pH range 7.5-8.8 follows the rate expression kobs = kaq + kOH[OH-]. At 25�C (I = 0.1 M, NaClO4) kOH = 1.21 x 103 1. mol-1 s-1 with the activation parameters for base hydrolysis being ΔH? = 74.2 kJ mol-1 and ΔS? = +63.2 J K-1 mol-1 at 298 K. Aquation and base hydrolysis of the bromo complex at 25�C occur at rates 14 and 5 times faster respectively than those previously reported for the analogous trans-[Co(dtcd)(NO2)Cl]+ complex, the acceleration being due to a more favourable entropy of activation in each case.
