The kinetics of disproportionation and ferricyanide ion oxidation of the 10-methylacridinium cation have been measured spectrophotometrically over the pH range 9–14 in.20% CH3CN – 80% H2O (v/v) and ionic strength 1.0 at 25 °C. Disproportionation is kinetically second-order in total acridine species. The pH–rate profile is consistent with the rate-determining reaction of one acridinium cation with the pseudobase alkoxide anion derived from a second acridinium cation. Ferricyanide ion oxidation is kinetically first-order in each of ferricyanide ion and total acridine species. The pH–rate profile requires three distinct pathways for the ferricyanide ion oxidation of the 10-methylacridinium cation. For pH < 9.7, rate-determining attack of ferricyanide ion on the neutral pseudobase predominates, while for pH > 12.8 the predominant oxidation pathway involves reaction of ferricyanide ion with the pseudobase alkoxide ion. Between pH 9.7 and 12.8, the major oxidation pathway involves initial disproportionation of the acridinium cation followed by ferricyanide ion oxidation of the 9,10-dihydro-10-methylacridine product. This latter route accounts for a maximum of 69% of the total ferricyanide ion oxidation at pH 11.1.

The kinetics of oxidation of chitosan as polysaccharide by permanganate in aqueous perchlorate media at a constant ionic strength was found to have second-order overall kinetics and to be first-order in the concentration of both reactants, the results obtained showed that the reaction is acid catalysed.

The kinetics of formation of mono- and dicarbonyl complexes in two successive stages by direct carbonylation of ruthenium(II) chlorides in dimethylacetamide solution have been studied at 65–80° and up to 1 atm CO by gas uptake techniques. Both stages are first order in ruthenium. Formation of the monocarbonyl is independent of CO pressure; dicarbonyl formation is first order in CO at low pressures with the order decreasing towards zero with increasing pressure, and shows an inverse chloride dependence from 0.1–2.0 M added chloride. For both stages, the data are consistent with a mechanism involving predissociation. A similar mechanism is suggested for the corresponding reactions in 3 M HCl solution which had been studied earlier and which showed overall second-order kinetics.Discussion on the related formation of molecular nitrogen complexes of ruthenium(II) is presented.

13C Fourier-transform N.M.R. has been used to measure the rate of exchange of dimethyl sulfoxide with hexakis(dimethyl sulfoxide)nickel(II) cation. The parameters obtained, kex(25°C)(9.8�4.6) × 103 s-1, ΔH‡ 50�2 kJ mol-1 and ΔS‡ 0�4 J K-1 mol-1, are in excellent agreement with those of the most recent 1H N.M.R. study. The reaction between Ni(Me2SO)62+ and diethyldithiocarbamate (dtc-) gives only Ni(dtc)2. When dtc- is in excess, the rate of formation of Ni(dtc)2 is first order in Ni2+ and dtc-. The ionic-strength and temperature dependences of the second-order rate constants are consistent with the rate-determining formation of an unstable Ni(dtc)+ complex by an ID mechanism.

The kinetics of the oxidation of p-cresol by compound II of lactoperoxidase have been studied over the pH range 2.1–11.2 by the stopped-flow technique. The reaction is kinetically first-order with respect to p-cresol over the entire pH range. Use is made of the diffusion-controlled limit that can be placed on a bimolecular rate constant to show that p-cresol reacts in the unionized form. The complexity of the pH-rate profile is discussed in terms of acid dissociation constants of groups in the enzyme and the ionization of the substrate.

The kinetics of oxidation of methyl orange by vanadium(V) {V(V)} has been investigated in the pH range 2.3-3.79. In this pH range V(V) exists both in the form of decavanadates and VO2+. The kinetic results are distinctly different from the results obtained for the same reaction in highly acidic solution (pH &lt; 1) where V(V) exists only in the form of VO2+. The reaction obeys first order kinetics with respect to methyl orange but the rate has very little dependence on total vanadium concentration. The reaction is accelerated by H+ ion but the dependence of rate on [H+] is less than that corresponding to first order dependence. The equilibrium between decavanadates and VO2+ explains the different kinetic pattern observed in this pH range. The reaction is markedly accelerated by Triton X-100 micelles. The rate-[surfactant] profile shows a limiting behavior indicative of a unimolecular pathway in the micellar pseudophase.

The kinetics of oxidation of arsenic(III) by hexachloroiridate(IV) at lower acid concentrations and at constant ionic strength of 1.0 mol dm-3 have been investigated spectrophotometrically. A first-order reaction in [IrCl62-] and fractional order with respect to arsenic(III) have been observed. A kinetic evidence for the formation of an intermediate complex between the hydrolyzed arsenic(III) species and the oxidant was presented. The results showed that decreasing the [H+] is accompanied by an appreciable acceleration of the rate of oxidation. The activation parameters have been evaluated and a mechanism consistent with the kinetic results was suggested.

The kinetics of nucleophilic substitution reactions of 1-(phenoxycarbonyl)pyridinium ions, prepared with the essentially non-nucleophilic/non-basic fluoroborate as the counterion, have been studied using up to 1.60 M methanol in acetonitrile as solvent and under solvolytic conditions in 2,2,2-trifluoroethan-1-ol (TFE) and its mixtures with water. Under the non- solvolytic conditions, the parent and three pyridine-ring-substituted derivatives were studied. Both second-order (first-order in methanol) and third-order (second-order in methanol) kinetic contributions were observed. In the solvolysis studies, since solvent ionizing power values were almost constant over the range of aqueous TFE studied, a Grunwald–Winstein equation treatment of the specific rates of solvolysis for the parent and the 4-methoxy derivative could be carried out in terms of variations in solvent nucleophilicity, and an appreciable sensitivity to changes in solvent nucleophilicity was found.

The kinetics of permanganate oxidation of DL-α-alanine in aqueous perchloric acid solution at a constant ionic strength of 2.0 mol dm−3 has been investigated spectrophotometrically. The reaction was found to show second-order kinetics overall with respect to each of the reactants in the slow initial stage; the second-order kinetics are not, however, maintained throughout the relatively fast final stage of reaction. The added salts lead to the prediction that Mn(III) and (or) Mn(IV) play a very important role in the reaction kinetics. A tentative mechanism consistent with the kinetics is discussed. Key words: kinetics, oxidation, reduction, amino acids, permanganate.

Oxidation of Ni2+,aq, by S2O82- to nickel(IV) in the presence of molybdate ion, as in the analogous manganese system, involves the formation of the soluble heteropolymolybdate anion [MMogO32]2- (M = Ni, Mn ). The nickel(IV) product crystallized as (NH4)6 [NiMogO32].6H2O from the reaction mixture in the rhombohedra1 space group R3, a 15.922(1), c 12.406(1) � ; the structure was determined by X-ray diffraction methods, and refined to a residual of 0.025 for 1741 independent 'observed' reflections. The kinetics of the oxidation were examined at 80 C over the pH range 3.0-5.2; a linear dependence on [S2O82-] and a non-linear dependence on l/[H+] were observed. The influence of variation of the Ni/Mo ratio between 1:10 and 1:25 on the observed rate constant was very small at pH 4.5, a result supporting the view that the precursor exists as the known [NiMo6O24H6]4- or a close analogue in solution. The pH dependence of the observed rate constant at a fixed oxidant concentration (0.025 mol dm-3) fits dequately to the expression kobs = kH [H+]/(Ka+[H+]) where kH = 0.0013 dm3 mol-1 s-1 and Ka = 4-0x10-5. The first-order dependence on peroxodisulfate subsequently yields a second-order rate constant of 0.042 dm3 mol-1 s-1. Under analogous conditions, oxidation of manganese(II) occurs eightfold more slowly than oxidation of nickel(II), whereas oxidation of manganese(II) by peroxomonosulfuric acid is 16-fold faster than oxidation by peroxodisulfate under similar conditions.
