The kinetics of oxidation of dithiocarbamate anions to thiuram disulfides in aqueous acetone by {Fe(CN)6}3- and 11 other substitution inert metal complexes have been investigated. Outer-sphere electron transfer, resulting in the formation of dithiocarbamate thio radicals, is the rate determining step. A Marcus cross reaction treatment allows an estimate for the redox potential for the dithiocarbamate radical/anion couple. For diethyldithiocarbamate, E �(edtc/edtc-) = 425 � 33 mV v.s.c.e. and the outer-sphere electron self-exchange rate constant is log kex = 7.0 � 0.3. A comparison with thiophenolate oxidation is also given.

The kinetics of the outer-sphere oxidation of Cr(NN)32+ ions (NN = 2,2'-bipyridine, 1,10-phenanthroline, and their substituted analogs) by hexaammineruthenium(III) was studied using laser flash photolysis. The Cr(NN)32+ ions were generated via the reductive quenching of the *Cr(NN)33+ excited states by oxalate ions or by H2edta2–. The second-order rate constants were found to vary with the driving force of the reaction. The rate constants increase from (7.1 ± 0.5) × 106 M–1 s–1 for Cr(5-Clphen)32+ to (2.6 ± 0.2) × 108 M–1 s–1 for Cr(4,7-Me2phen)32+. The self-exchange rate constant for the couple (Cr(NN)33+/2+) was calculated by applying Marcus cross relation to present and other known reactions of Cr(NN)3n+ ions, where n = 3 or 2 with various reactants and is estimated to be (6 ± 4) × 107 M–1 s–1.Key words: tris(polypyridyl)chromium(II)/(III) self-exchange rate, hexaammineruthenium(III), oxidation of Cr(NN)32+.

The rates of oxidation of CoII(dmgBF2)2(OH2)2 by CoIII(NH3)5X2+ (X = Br−, Cl−, and N3−) have been studied at 25 °C in 0.10 M LiClO4. The rate constants are 50 ± 9, 2.6 ± 0.2, and 5.9 ± 1.0 M−1 s−1 for X = Br−, Cl−, and N3−, respectively, in 0.01 M acetate buffer at pH 4.7. The relative rates are consistent with the inner-sphere bridging mechanism established earlier by Adin and Espenson for the analogous reactions of CoII(dmgH)2(OH2)2. The rate constants with CoII(dmgBF2)2(OH2)2 typically are ~103 times smaller and this is attributed largely to the smaller driving force for the CoII(dmgBF2)2(OH2)2 complex. The outer-sphere oxidations of cobalt(II) sepulchrate by CoIII(dmgH)2(OH2)2+ (pH 4.76–7.35, acetate, MES, and PIPES buffers) and CoIII(dmgBF2)2(OH2)2+ (pH 3.3–7.42, chloroacetate, acetate, MES, and PIPES buffers) have been studied. The pH dependence gives the following rate constants (M−1 s−1) for the species indicated: (1.55 ± 0.09) × 105 (CoIII(dmgBF2)2(OH2)2+); (5.5 ± 0.3) × 103 (CoII(dmgH)2(OH2)2+); (3.1 ± 0.5) × 102 (CoIII(dmgH)2(OH2)(OH)); (2.5 ± 0.3) × 102 (CoIII(dmgBF2)2(OH2)(OH)). The known reduction potentials for cobalt(III) sepulchrate and the diaqua complexes, and the self-exchange rate for cobalt(II/III) sepulchrate, are used to estimate the self-exchange rate constants for the dioximate complexes. Comparisons to other reactions with cobalt sepulchrate indicates best estimates of the self-exchange rate constants are ~2.4 × 10−2 M−1 s−1 for CoII/III(dmgH)2(OH2)2and ~5.7 × 10−3 M−1 s−1 for CoII/III(dmgBF2)2(OH2)2. Key words: electron transfer, cobaloxime, inner sphere, outer sphere, self-exchange.

The outer-sphere oxidation of the nickel(II) complex of the deprotonated pendant-arm macrocycle, 5,5,7,12,12,14-hexamethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane-1-acetate, [NiL1(OH2)]+ by bis-(1,4,7-triazacyclononane)nickel(III), [Ni(tacn)2]3+ has been studied in aqueous perchlorate media. The reaction displays reversible second-order behaviour and the kinetic study reveals the forward and reverse rate constants for the reaction: [Formula: see text] The kinetics show the forward reaction to be acid dependent, a feature that is attributed to protonation of the acetato group of the nickel(II) complex. Using Marcus theory, the self-exchange rate for the [NiL1(OH2)]+/2+ couple has been calculated. The nickel(II/III) electron transfer is a reversible one electron process with E° = 1.04 V (vs. S.H.E.). The formation of the authentic nickel(III) product has been confirmed by esr spectroscopy. The kinetics of reduction of the [NiL1(OH2)]2+ species by Fe2+(aq) exhibits a second-order rate law, the reaction being independent of acid. Using the calculated self-exchange rate for the nickel complex, its reaction with Fe2+(aq) has been examined in terms of an inner- versus outer-sphere mechanism. Key words: nickel(III), pendant-arm macrocycles, hexaaquairon(II), outer sphere, kinetics, Marcus theory.

The synthesis and crystal structure of [Ni(cyclam)(NO3)2](ClO4) are described (P1, a = 8.347(4) Å, b = 15.960(7) Å, c = 7.656(3) Å, α = 90.33(6)°, β = 110.97(4)°, γ = 104.45(5)°, V = 917.0(7) Å3, R = 0.0425, Rw = 0.0384). The crystal contains two unique Ni(III) cations within the unit cell, with a network of hydrogen bonding interactions linking one of the cations into a stacked configuration while the other cation contains a strong internal hydrogen bond. This provides an interesting inorganic example of multi-site cooperative binding involving a metal complex cation. By use of electron transfer data from known outer-sphere redox reagents, measurement of the cross-reactions with [Ni(cyclam)]3+/2+ in 3 M nitrate media yielded a self-exchange rate constant of 1.4 × 105 M−1 s−1. The structural data have been utilized to obtain a calculated estimate of the self-exchange rate constant (1.0 × 108 M−1 s−1) for this couple. The relationship between these two values is explored. The lack of adiabaticity is reflected in a value ≈0.01 for κeI not only for this couple but also for other related cyclam complexes.
