The kinetics and mechanism of the redox reactions of U3+ ions with mono- and dichloroacetic acids were studied. The influence of pH was observed mainly in the second case and led to the determination of the rate constants and activation parameters corresponding to two parallel steps, namely oxidation of U3+ with CHCl2COO- ions and oxidation of U3+ with CHCl2.COOH molecules. The influence of binary mixtures of water with methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, or tert-butenol on the reaction rate was followed. Increasing alcohol concentration influences the rate constant not only through changing dielectric constant and solvation of the reactants but also through a change of the solvent structure which plays a role in reactions with an outer sphere mechanism of the electron transfer.

Determination of the activation parameters for the acid-, base-, and enzyme-catalyzed isomerizations of androst-5-ene-3,17-dione has revealed that the facility of the enzymic process is mainly due to an extremely low enthalpy of activation of 5.0 kcal mole−1. Further circumstantial evidence regarding the nature of the reacting groups at the active center has also been obtained, and a mechanism of enzyme action is proposed employing tyrosine and histidine as the principal amino acids responsible for catalyzing the isomerization.

Abstract The plastic flow associated with the three main methods of combining deformation mechanisms is described in terms of deformation kinetics. It is shown that the determination of the deformation kinetics as the initial step in the analysis is indispensable to the establishment of the activation parameters in functional forms. To this purpose, the effects of stress and temperature on the plastic strain rate are determined for three types of combined mechanisms, and qualitative comparison with experimental results is presented.
