The stoichiometry and kinetics of the oxidation of hydrogen peroxide by tris(2,2′-bipyridine) and tris(4,4′-dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine) complexes of osmium(III), iron(III), ruthenium(III), and nickel (III) were studied in acidic and neutral aqueous media at 25 °C and I = 0.50 M (LiCF3SO3). The reaction 2M(bpy)33+ + H2O2 → 2M(bpy)32+ + O2 + 2H+ is observed with quantitative yields of dioxygen gas. The observed rate constants displayed an inverse acid dependence over the pH range 6.0–8.5; kobsd = k1 + k2K1/[H+], attributed to the oxidations of H2O2(k1) and HO2− (k2). An application of the Marcus theory relationship to the cross-reaction data gave a self-exchange rate constant of 10−2–10−1 M−1 s−1 for the HO2−/HO2 couple. The electron exchange rate constant is evaluated in terms of the inner-sphere and solvent reorganizational barriers and is compared to values reported for other small molecule couples. Rate and activation parameters for the reduction of the nickel(III) complexes by the hydroxide ion have been determined and are compared with the corresponding values for other metal tris(poly pyridine) complexes.

Tris picolinate complexes of CO111 and RU111 have been synthesized, and their standard potentials measured (432 �10, 403 �2 mV) at 25�C and ionic strength 0.1 mol dm-3. The self-exchange rate constant of Ru ( pic )3O/- was found to be (1 .4 �0.9)×108 dm3 mol-1 s-l, from reaction with cytochrome C(II), Co( bpy )32+ and ~Co( phen )32+. For the reaction between Fe( dipic )2- and cytochrome ~(II), at 2S260C, pH 5.5 and I 0.1 mol dm-3 (KNO3), the second-order rate constant was (3.2 �0.l)×105 dm3 mol-1 s-1,with ΔH+ 19.9 �0.9 kJ mol-1 and ΔS+ -72.8 �.7 J K-1 mol-l. The self-exchange rate constant of Fe( dipic )2-/2- was reevaluated as (5.8 �0.2)×106 dm3 mol-l s-1.

The kinetics of the formation of the primary lactoperoxidase – hydrogen peroxide compound (compound I) at 25 °C have been studied over the pH range 3.0–10.8 by steady state methods. The second-order rate constant k1 is pH-independent over the pH region investigated, having a value of (9.2 ± 0.9) × 106M−1s−1. An anomalous effect of formate buffer on the kinetics of the formation of compound I is reported.

Hydrogen/deuterium (H/D) exchange rate constants in chymotrypsinogen have been determined at several pressures up to 28.9 kbar by FTIR spectroscopy. The secondary structure of the protein molecules was monitored simultaneously at the corresponding pressures by the intensity redistribution of the infrared amide I band at these pressures. As in other proteins, the labile protons on the amide groups in chymotrypsinogen can, to a good approximation, be separated into two classes, each with distinct first order H/D exchange rates constants in the time period from 10 min to ~24 h. The fast exchange rate constant increases while the slow exchange rate constant decreases with increasing pressure. The increase in the fast exchange rate constant at high pressure is largely associated with the pressure-induced unfolding of the protein molecules. At extremely high pressure (12.8 kbar), in addition to the unfolding of protein molecules, pressure induced a distortion and weakening of the hydrogen bonds of the fold protein segments also contribute to an increase in the overall H/D exchange rate. The present results confirm that when chymotrypsinogen is dissolved in D2O, a considerable amount of D2O molecules is bound to the protein molecules on the surface as well as in the interior cavities of the molecules. The H/D exchange takes place between these bound D2O and the protons in the protein molecules. The mechanism of the H/D exchange and the interior dynamics in proteins are discussed on the basis of the present results. Key words: hydrogen/deuterium exchange, exchange kinetics, rate constant, pressure effects, infrared spectroscopy, protein, conformation structure, bound water.

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.

The oxidation of diphenyl sulfide (Ph2S) by hydrogen peroxide in the presence of a catalytic amount of sodium metavanadate (NaVO3) has been studied kinetically by means of iodometry of hydrogen peroxide. The reaction rate is expressed as: v = k[NaVO3]st[Ph2S]2, when the concentration of catalyst is very low and [Ph2S]0/[H2O2]0 > 2, where []st and []0 mean stoichiometric and initial concentration, respectively. The effective oxidant may consist of polymeric as well as monomeric peroxyvanadate in view of the effect of concentration of catalyst on the rate. The main oxidizing species at low concentration of catalyst seems to be diperoxyvanadate VO5−. The rate constant k2 in v = k2[Ph2S]2 tends to decrease with initial concentration of H2O2, which is present in excess of the catalyst. A probable mechanism for the oxidation is discussed.
