Absorbance changes of solutions of iodine and 15-crown-5, 18-crown-6 and dibenzo-18-crown-6 in chloroform were studied. Absorption maxima due to the triiodide anion were observed. The obtained rate constants and their temperature dependence indicate formation of molecular complexes (cyclic polyether...I2) and (cyclic polyether...I(+)) I(-).

First order rate constants of the reaction of a series of SH-, imidazole- and imidazole/SH-compounds with FDNB as well as their pH- and temperature dependence were determined. Some of the tested imidazole/SH-compounds exhibit a higher nucleophilic reactivity as is expected on the basis of their pKSH-values. This enhanced reactivity is caused by an activation of the SH-groups by a neighbouring imidazole residue. The pH-independent rate constants were calculated using the Lindley equation.The kinetics of DNP-transfer from DNP-imidazole to SH-compounds were investigated. The pH-dependence of the reaction displays a maximum curve. Donor in this reaction is the DNP-imidazolecation and acceptor the thiolate anion.The reaction rate of FDNB with imidazole derivatives is two to three orders of magnitude slower than with SH-compounds.No inter- or intra-molecular transfer of the DNP-residue from sulfure to imidazole takes place.

AbstractThe thermodynamics and kinetics of CO2 speciation in silicate melts have been studied by measuring the concentration of CO2mol and carbonate in jadeite glass annealed at 575, 450 and 400°C. Assuming that the reaction is1where CO2mol..Obr represents a CO2 molecule weakly bonded to a bridging oxygen in the network and CO3 represents a bridging carbonate group with no net negative charge, ΔH for the reaction is –17 (+4/–8) kJ mol−1 and ΔS is –24 (+6/–9) J K−1 mol−1. The rate of equilibration of the species was measured at each temperature and the rate constants were deduced. The temperature dependence of the rate constants was used to determine the activation energy of the forward and reverse reactions which are 68 (+3/–31) kJ mol−1 and 86 (+1/–69) kJ mol−1 respectively. The data suggest that CO2mol may be much more abundant in silicate melts than previously assumed on the basis of studies of CO2-bearing glasses. Models of solubility, diffusion, and isotope fractionation should take this into account.

In order to get basic data for the design of a novel treatment scheme for high explosives we investigated the kinetics for the aqueous alkaline hydrolysis of 1,3,5,7-tetraaza-1,3,5,7-tetranitrocyclooctane (HMX) and the temperature dependence of the rate constants. We used an HPLC procedure for the analysis of HMX. All experimental data could be fit accurately to a pseudo first-order rate equation and subsequent calculation of second-order rate constants was also precise. Temperature dependence could be modeled with the Arrhenius equation. An increase of 10°C led to an average increase in the second-order rate constants by the 3.16 fold. The activation energy of the second-order reaction was determined to be 111.9 ±0.76 kJ·moJ‒1. We found the alkaline hydrolysis to be rapid (less than 2.5% of the initial HMX-concentration left after 100 minutes) at base concentrations of 23 mmol oH‒/L and elevated temperatures between 60 and 80°C.

Rate constants for the overall rearrangement of the 2,2-dimethyl-3-buten-1-yl radical to the 1,1 -dimethyl-3-buten-1-yl radical, kC=C, have been measured from −145 °C to −101 °C by kinetic epr spectroscopy and at 40 °C by spin trapping with 1-methyl-4-nitroso-3,5-diphenylpyrazole. The temperature dependence can be represented by[Formula: see text]where θ = 2.3RT kcal mol−1. This rearrangement, which must proceed via a 2,2-dimethylcyclopropylcarbinyl radical as an intermediate, is one of the fastest rearrangements involving a primary alkyl radical. At 25 °C, kC=C = 4.3 × 107 s−1, which makes this rearrangement about 10 000 times faster than the rearrangement of the simplest homoallyl radical, 3-buten-1-yl. This rate enhancement is attributed to steric acceleration of ring closure by the gem dimethyl groups (Thorpe–Ingold effect).

The rate constants for rearrangement of the 2,2,5,5-tetramethyl-3-hexyn-1-yl radical to the 2,6,6-trimethyl-4-heptyn-2-yl radical have been measured from 45 to 88 °C by kinetic epr spectroscopy. The temperature dependence can be represented by[Formula: see text]where θ = 2.3RT kcal mol−1. This rearrangement, which must involve an intermediate vinyl radical of the methylenecyclopropane type, is much slower than analogous rearrangement of homoallyl radicals but comparable in rate to rearrangement of homobenzyl (neophyl) radicals.

1. The kinetics of formation of horseradish peroxidase Compound I were studied by using peroxobenzoic acid and ten substituted peroxobenzoic acids as substrates. Kinetic data for the formation of Compound I with H2O2 and for the reaction of deuteroferrihaem with H2O2 and peroxobenzoic acids, to form a peroxidatically active intermediate, are included for comparison. 2. The observed second-order rate constants for the formation of Compound I with peroxobenzoic acids decrease with increasing pH, in the range pH 5-10, in contrast with pH-independence of the reaction with H2O2. The results imply that the formation of Compound I involves a reaction between the enzyme and un-ionized hydroperoxide molecules. 3. The maximal rate constants for Compound I formation with unhindered peroxobenzoic acids exceed that for H2O2. Peroxobenzoic acids with bulky ortho substituents show marked adverse steric effects. The pattern of substituent effects does not agree with expectations for an electrophilic oxidation of the enzyme by peroxoacid molecules in aqueous solution, but is in agreement with that expected for a reaction involving nucleophilic attack by peroxo anions. 4. Possible reaction mechanisms are considered by which the apparent conflict between the pH-effect and substituent-effect data may be resolved. A model in which it is postulated that a negatively charged ‘electrostatic gate’ controls access of substrate to the active site and may also activate substrate within the active site, provides the most satisfactory explanation for both the present results and data from the literature.

Oxidation kinetics of trans-aqua-bis(ethylenediamine)cobalt(III) ion with peroxodisulphate have been investigated in 0.01M-HClO4 medium within the ionic strength and temperature intervals 0.0411 to 0.4415M and 315.5 to 336.9 K, respectively. From the temperature dependence of the rate constants extrapolated to zero ionic strength the extrapolated values of thermodynamic activation parameters have been calculated. The data obtained by investigation of the primary salt effect have been confronted with relations valid for ionic reactions.

Abstract The investigation of the reaction of sulfur with mercaptobenzothiazole (MBT) is of great interest from the point of view of clarifying the mechanism of the action of the latter as a vulcanization accelerator. We studied the reaction of MBT with elemental sulfur in the melt and in solvent media—vaseline oil and xylene. The course of the reaction was followed by means of the H2S liberated, which was removed from the reaction medium by a continuous stream of nitrogen and was absorbed in a solution of CdCl2. In Figure 1 are presented the kinetics of the liberation of H2S on heating the mixture in a medium of vaseline oil, the concentration of MBT and sulfur comprising, respectively, 0.06 mole/liter and 0.655 g-atom/liter. This ratio and concentration of reactants corresponds to those in the vulcanization of rubber. As can be seen, the splitting out of H2S under the stated conditions proceeds at a constant rate, which can be explained by the very insignificant change in concentrations of reactants over the entire time (only 1.5% of the MBT introduced reacted in 10 hours at 140°). The kinetics of the liberation of H2S from a melt of MBT and sulfur at 140° practically coincide with the kinetics of the reaction in solution (see Figure 1). The temperature dependence of the rate constants leads to the expression K=3.54⋅1010e33500/RT.

The kinetics of the atmospherically important hydration sequence: NO+(H2O)n−1 + H2O = NO+(H2O)n and the transfer reaction NO+(H2O)n + H2O = HNO2 + H+(H2O)n were examined in nitrogen containing small quantities of NO and H2O with a pulsed high pressure ion source mass spectrometer. The room temperature mechanism and rate constants were found to be in agreement with earlier work in other laboratories. The temperature dependence of the reaction was examined for the range 27–157 °C. The transfer reaction does not occur at higher temperatures so that the NO+ hydration equilibria for n = 1 and 2 could be measured leading to ΔH1,0 = 18.5 and ΔH2,1 = 16.1 kcal/mol. The third order forward clustering rate constants were found to have negative temperature coefficients.
