The second-order rate constants for the thallium(III)-induced aquation of cis-[Co(en)2(RNH2)Cl]2+ cations, where R is H, Me, Et, Prn, and Pri, have been measured in aqueous solution over a range of temperatures, and the activation parameters calculated. The kinetic results are discussed in terms of a rapid pre-equilibrium formation of an activated complex Co-Cl-Tl, followed by a simple rate-determining aquation in which TlCl2+ acts as the leaving group, although the alternative possibility of a rate-determining attack by Tl3+ cannot be excluded. In the case of R = H, the investigations have been extended to the corresponding bromo cation which reacts some 50 times faster than its chloro analogue.

The second-order rate constants for the mercury(II)-induced aquation of some cis-chloropyridinebis(ethylenediamine)cobalt(III) cations have been measured in aqueous solution over a range of temperatures. The results are interpreted in terms of the formation of an activated complex Co-Cl-Hg, which yields the aquo product by a unimolecular aquation with HgCl+ as the leaving group. The competitive influences of the steric and inductive effects of alkyl substituents are discussed.

The pseudo first-order rate constants for the mercury(II)-induced aquation of trans-[Co(Hdmg)2(NH3)Cl] (Hdmg = dimethylglyoximate ion) have been measured in aqueous and aqueous ethanol solutions (ethanol- water mole ratio 1 : 5.1) containing various excess amounts of mercury(II)ion at 273.2 K. Association constants of the complex formed with mercury(II) ion and rate constants for dissociation of the activated complex in both solutions have been calculated. The kinetic results are discussed in terms of formation of an activated complex Co-C1-Hg, followed by a simple rate-determining aquation in which HgCl+ acts as the leaving group.

The reduction of single-site haem and copper redox proteins by ascorbic acid was studied as a function of pH. Evidence is presented that indicates that the double-deprotonated ascorbate anion, ascorbate2-, is the reducing agent, and the pH-independent second-order rate constants for reduction by this species are given. Investigation of the temperature dependences of these rate constants have yielded the values of the activation parameters (delta H++ and delta S++) for reduction. These values, together with ligand-replacement studies, suggest that ascorbate2- acts as an outer-sphere reductant for these proteins. Reasons to account for the apparent inability of ascorbic acid to reduce the alkaline conformer of mammalian ferricytochrome c are suggested.

The pH-dependence of the second order rate constants of the reaction of papain with bromoacetamide in the pH-range 5,5-8,5 is described by a curve with a turning point corresponding to a pK 7,3 ± 0,1 at 25°. This is the pK of a catalytically essential imidazole residue. The activation parameters of the reaction of papain with bromoacetamide were determined. The second order rate constants at pH 7 for the reaction is 200 times greater than for the reaction of bromoacetamide with simple SH-compounds.

The reactions of [Pd(dien)H2O]2+ and [Pt(dien)H2O]2+ (dien = diethylenetriamine or 1,5-diamino-3-azapentane) with l-cysteine and S-methyl-l-cysteine were studied in an aqueous 0.10 M NaClO4 solution using stopped-flow and conventional UV-vis spectrophotometry. The second-order rate constants for the reactions of [Pd(dien)H2O]2+ at pH 1.0 are k1298 = (9.11 ± 0.11) × 102 M−1 s−1 for l-cysteine, and k1298 = (33.79 ± 0.63) × 102 M−1 s−1 for S-methyl-l-cysteine. The second-order rate constants for the reactions of [Pt(dien)H2O]2+ at pH 1.0 with l-cysteine is k1298 = (1.28 ± 0.08) × 10−2 M−1 s−1 and for S-methyl-l-cysteine is k1298 = (3.87 ± 0.02) × 10−2 M−1 s−1. Activation parameters were determined for all reactions, and the negative values of entropy of activation support an associative complex formation mechanism. Substitution reactions were also studied at pH 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5. The rate constants increase with increase in pH. These results are discussed in terms of protolitic equilibrium.

The second-order rate constants have been determined for the β-elimination reactions of 2,2-di-(p-nitrophenyl)-1,1,1-trifluoroethane, 2,2-di-(p-nitrophenyl)-1-fluoroethane, and their β-deuterated analogues with sodium methoxide in methanol. The primary isotope effects and activation parameters for these reactions are reported. It is suggested that the trifluoro-compound reacts via the pre-equilibrium carbanion mechanism (ElcB)R and that the monofluoro compound follows the E2 mechanism via a carbanion-like transition state.

This paper describes the results of experiments on the decomposition of selected nonylphenols (NPs) in aqueous solutions using the UV, UV/H2O2, O3 and UV/O3 processes. The goal of the research was to determine the kinetic parameters of the above-mentioned processes, and to estimate their effectiveness. These substances were selected because of their ubiquitous occurrence in the aquatic environment, resistance to biodegradation and environmental significance. As a result of the experiments, the quantum yields of the 4-n-nonylphenol (4NP) and NP (technical mixture) photodegradation in aqueous solution were calculated to be 0.15 and 0.17, respectively. The values of the second-order rate constants of the investigated compounds with hydroxyl radical and NP with ozone were also determined. The estimated second-order rate constants of 4NP and NP with hydroxyl radicals were equal to 7.6 × 108–1.3 × 109 mol−1 L s−1. For NP, the determined rate constant with ozone was equal to 2.01 × 106 mol−1 L s−1. The performed experiments showed that NP was slightly more susceptible to degradation by the UV radiation and hydroxyl radicals than 4NP. The study demonstrated also that the polychromatic UV-light alone and also in combination with selected oxidizers (i.e. hydrogen peroxide, ozone) may be successfully used for the removal of selected NPs from the aqueous medium.

Synthesis of 2- (5a), 3- (5b) and 4-formyl-1-methylpyridinium iodides (5c) and (2,2-dihydroxyethyl)trimethylammonium chloride (6a) is described. In aqueous solution aldehydes 5 exist predominantly as hydrates - geminal diols 7. The ability of the geminal diols 6a and 7 to reactivate acetylcholinesterase inhibited by isopropyl methylfluorophosphonate (Sarin) was tested in vitro. Although compounds 6a and 7 exhibit an affinity towards the acetylcholinesterase bonding site comparable with that of the natural substrate acetylcholine, their reactivation ability was negligible. Second-order rate constants for cleavage of 4-nitrophenyl diphenyl phosphate (PNPDPP) with anions of the studied geminal diols were measured in order to determine their nucleophilicity.

The second-order rate constants and activation parameters for the addition of 1,10-phenanthroline to bis(dialkyldithiophosphato)nickel(II) complexes and substituted bis(monothioacetylacetonato)-nickel(II) complexes in toluene have been measured. Rate constants are in the range 102-108 1. mol-1 s-1 at 25°C, while ΔH‡ is in the range 10-50 kJ mol-1 and ΔS‡ is in the range from -30 to -110 J mol-1 K-1. The higher rate constants, smaller ΔH‡ and more negative ΔS‡ values are associated with complexes with electron- withdrawing substituents. The results are related to the thermo- dynamics of adduct formation, the inductive effects of the substituents and the pKa of the ligands.
