The physiological significance of the generic reaction H2↔2[H] is not always clear because hydrogenases may function in the breakdown of molecular hydrogen or in its synthesis or in both directions. Fe-hydrogenases have nevertheless been most often associated with proton reduction and NiFe-hydrogenases with hydrogen oxidation. A re-determination of the KM of H2 oxidation by Pyrococcus furiosus NiFe-hydrogenase-I and by Desulfovibrio vulgaris Fe-hydrogenase suggests that affinity for hydrogen has been seriously underestimated and that the kinetics of hydrogen activation in relation to the directionality of hydrogenases should be re-evaluated.

A quantitative study has been made of the reaction of ethyl radicals with molecular hydrogen in the gas phase in the temperature range 240 to 320 °C. The mercury (63Pi) photosensitized decomposition of hydrogen in the presence of ethylene was used to generate ethyl radicals. Extinction coefficients for the absorption of 2537 Å by mercury vapor were measured and Beer's law was shown to be obeyed under the experimental conditions used. The corrections required to allow for the nonuniformity of radical concentrations in the cell were small. After delineating the experimental conditions necessary to minimize secondary reactions, the rate constant (cm3 mole−1 s−1) for the reaction C2H5 + H2 = C2H6 + H was found to be given by log10k = 12.57 − 13.7/θ. Experiments in the presence of added carbon dioxide showed the absence of hot radical effects at the working pressure of 92 Torr of hydrogen.

The kinetics of the reduction of ferric chloride by molecular hydrogen in aqueous solution, in the presence of chloropalladate(II), were examined. The latter acts as a homogeneous catalyst for the reaction. The rate-law was found to be,[Formula: see text]where[Formula: see text]The mechanism of the reaction is discussed.
