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.

Abstract We describe a simple, highly reproducible kinetic technique for precisely measuring temperature in spectrophotometric systems having reaction cells that are inaccessible to conventional temperature probes. The method is based on the temperature dependence of pseudo-first-order rate constants for the acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of N-o-tolyl-D-glucosylamine. Temperatures of reaction cuvette contents are measured with a precision of +/- 0.05 degrees C (1 SD).

The values of pseudo-first-order rate constants (kobs) for alkaline hydrolysis of1, obtained at 1.0 mM NaOH and withinCmEnT(total concentration ofCmEn) range of 3.0–5.0 mM forC12E23and 10–20 mM forC18E20, fail to obey pseudophase micellar (PM) model. The values of the fraction of near irreversibleCmEnmicellar trapped1molecules (FIT1) vary in the range ~0–0.75 forC12E23and ~0–0.83 forC18E20under such conditions. The values ofFIT1become 1.0 at ≥10 mMC12E23and 50 mMC18E20. Kinetic analysis of the observed data at ≥10 mMC12E23shows near irreversible micellar entrapment of1molecules under such conditions.

The degradation of propoxycarbazone-sodium, an active component of commercial herbicide, in aqueous solution with ozone, UV photolysis and advanced oxidation processes: O3/UV, O3/UV/H2O2, H2O2/UV, and the Fenton process was studied. All these methods of degradation proved feasible. The kinetics of propoxycarbazone-sodium degradation in water followed the pseudo-first order equation for all studied processes except the Fenton treatment. The application of schemes with ozone demonstrated low pseudo-first order rate constants within the range of 10−4 s−1. Addition of UV radiation to the processes improved the removal of propoxycarbazone-sodium and increased the pseudo-first order rate constants to 10−3 s−1. The Fenton process was the most efficient and resulted in 5 and 60 s of half-life and 90% conversion time of propoxycarbazone-sodium, respectively, at 14 mM H2O2 concentration. UV treatment and the Fenton process may be recommended for practical application in decontamination of water or wastewater.

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.

With the exception of the saxitoxins, the cyanobacterial metabolites studied were shown to be biodegradable in two South Australian waters with the rate of biodegradation of the metabolites influenced by temperature and to a lesser extent, seasonal variations. The order of ease of biodegradability followed the trend: microcystin-LR > cylindrospermopsin > geosmin > 2-methylisoborneol > saxitoxins. Pseudo-first-order rate constants for the biodegradation of the metabolites ranged from 9.6 × 10−4 to 2.6 × 10−2 h−1.

Using dynamic liquid-state NMR spectroscopy a degenerate double proton tautomerism was detected in tetramethyl reductic acid (TMRA) dissolved in toluene-d8 and in CD2Cl2. Similar to vitamin C, TMRA belongs to the class of reductones of biologically important compounds. The tautomerism involves an intramolecular HH transfer that interconverts the peripheric and the central positions of the two OH groups. It is slow in the NMR time scale around 200 K and fast at room temperature. Pseudo-first-order rate constants of the HH transfer and of the HD transfer after suitable deuteration were obtained by line shape analyses. Interestingly, the chemical shifts were found to be temperature dependent carrying information about an equilibrium between a hydrogen bonded dimer and a monomer forming two weak intramolecular hydrogen bonds. The structures of the monomer and the dimer are discussed. The latter may consist of several rapidly interconverting hydrogen-bonded associates. A way was found to obtain the enthalpies and entropies of dissociation, which allowed us to convert the pseudo-first-order rate constants of the reaction mixture into first-order rate constants of the tautomerization of the monomer. Surprisingly, these intrinsic rate constants were the same for toluene-d8 and CD2Cl2, but in the latter solvent more monomer is formed. This finding is attributed to the dipole moment of the TMRA monomer, compensated in the dimer, and to the larger dielectric constant of CD2Cl2. Within the margin of error, the kinetic HH/HD isotope effects were found to be of the order of 3 but independent of temperature. That finding indicates a stepwise HH transfer involving a tunnel mechanism along a double barrier pathway. The Arrhenius curves were described in terms of the Bell–Limbach tunneling model.

AbstractDiazocyclopentadiene reacts with benzhydrylium ions (Ar2CH+) to give 2,5-dibenzhydryl-substituted diazocyclopentadienes. The kinetics have been determined photometrically in dichloromethane under pseudo-first-order conditions using diazocyclopentadiene in excess. Plots of the second-order rate constants (log k 2) versus the electrophilicity parameters E of the benzhydrylium ions gave the nucleo­philicity parameter N = 4.84 and susceptibility s N = 1.06 for diazo­cyclopentadiene according to the correlation log k(20 °C) = s N(E + N). Diazocyclopentadiene thus has a similar nucleophilic reactivity as pyrrole. Previously reported electrophilic substitutions of diazocyclopentadiene are rationalized by these parameters and new reaction possibilities are predicted.
