In weakly acidic, aqueous buffer (MeCO2-+ bipy), the complex ion [Mn2IV(μ-O)2(μ-MeCO2)(bipy)2(H2O)2]3+, 1 (bipy = 2,2prime-bipyridine), coexists in rapid equilibrium with its hydrolytic derivatives, [Mn2IV(μ-O)2(bipy)2(H2O)4]4+, 2, and [Mn2IV(μ-O)2(μ-MeCO2)(bipy)(H2O)4]3+, 3. The solution quantitatively oxidizes hydrogen peroxide to oxygen and ascorbic acid to dehydroascorbic acid, itself being reduced to MnII. In the presence of excess reductant, the reactions follow simple first-order kinetics with no evidence for the accumulation of a significant amount of any intermediate manganese complex. The ascorbate anion shows overwhelming kinetic dominance over ascorbic acid, but no evidence is available for deprotonation of hydrogen peroxide. The preferred intimate mechanism for hydrogen peroxide is inner sphere but that for ascorbic acid is uncertain. For both reductants, increased extent of aquation leads to increased kinetic activity in the order: 1 < 2 < 3.Key words: kinetics, manganese, ascorbic acid, hydrogen peroxide, 2,2prime-bipyridine.

Hydrogen peroxide oxidation of pentaamminecobalt(III) complexes ofα-hydroxy acids at 35°C in micellar medium has been attempted. In this reaction the rate of oxidation shows first order kinetics each in [cobalt(III)] and [H2O2]. Hydrogen peroxide induced electron transfer in [(NH3)5CoIII-L]2+complexes ofα-hydroxy acids readily yields 100% of cobalt(II) with nearly 100% of C-C bond cleavage products suggesting that it behaves mainly as one equivalent oxidant in micellar medium. With unbound ligand also it behaves only as C-C cleavage agent rather than C-H cleavage agent. With increasing micellar concentration an increase in the rate is observed.

In the present study solutions of a complex of Fe(II) with a macrocyclic ligand were prepared and their oxidation kinetics with hydrogen peroxide examined. The kinetic studies of the oxidation processes lead to values of rate constant of two-step which occur via first-order kinetics. The results are expected to result in a better knowledge of the mechanism of H202 activation in catalyzed oxidation of organic substrates.

In an effort to introduce N,N-dichloroarylsulphonamides of different oxidising strengths, four mono- and five di-substituted N,N-dichlorobenzenesulphonamides are prepared, characterised and employed as oxidants for studying the kinetics of oxidation of dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO) in 50% aqueous acetic acid. The reactions show first order kinetics in [oxidant], fractional to first order in [DMSO] and nearly zero order in [H+]. Increase in ionic strength of the medium slightly increases the rates, while decrease in dielectric constant of the medium decreases the rates. The results along with those of the oxidation of DMSO by N,N-dichlorobenzenesulphonamide and N,N-dichloro-4- methylbenzenesulphonamide have been analysed. Effective oxidising species of the oxidants employed in the present oxidations is Cl+ in different forms, released from the oxidants. Therefore the introduction of different substituent groups into the benzene ring of the oxidant is expected to affect the ability of the reagent to release Cl+ and hence its capacity to oxidise the substrate. Significant changes in the kinetic and thermodynamic data are observed in the present investigations with change of substituent in the benzene ring. The electron releasing groups such as CH3 inhibit the ease with which Cl+ is released from the oxidant, while electron-withdrawing groups such as Cl enhance this ability. The Hammett equation, log kobs = −3.19 + 1.05 σ , is found to be valid for oxidations by all the p-substituted N,N-dichlorobenzenesulphonamides. The substituent effect on the energy of activation, Ea and log A for the oxidations is also analysed. The enthalpies and free energies of activation correlate with an isokinetic temperature of 320 K.

"Oxygraph" apparatus was used to measure quantitatively the kinetics of oxidation of synthetic covellite (CuS) in the presence and absence of Thiobacillus species. The expected stoichiometric relationship between oxygen consumed and cupric sulphate produced was verified by atomic absorption assays of cupric ion and sulphate ion. Thiobacillus cultures markedly increased the oxidation rate.The dependence of each oxygen-uptake rate on oxygen concentration was also measured. Sterile controls and some bacterial cultures showed first-order kinetics while other cultures showed zero-order kinetics.Addition of biological inhibitors to reacting slurries revealed that cultures showing first-order kinetics did not oxidize CuS itself but merely oxidized elemental sulphur formed by non-enzymic oxidation of CuS. Cultures showing zero-order kinetics oxidized CuS in a way that resulted in all oxygen reduction being enzymic. This mechanism possibly involves the cyclic oxidation and reduction of soluble iron.

The kinetics of oxidation of the mercurous ion by peroxidase have been measured by following the disappearance of mercurous ion using cold-vapour atomic absorption spectroscopy. Pseudo-first-order kinetics are observed with respect to mercurous ion, and the pseudo-first-order rate constants are linearly related to peroxidase concentration, showing first-order dependence on peroxidase. This behaviour is identical to oxidation of elemental mercury, and the second-order rate constant, 1.44 × 104 M−1 s−1 at 23 °C, is also, within experimental error, the same as that for elemental mercury oxidation. The data are interpreted in terms of peroxidase-induced disproportionation of the mercurous dimer, followed by two-electron oxidation of zero-valent mercury.

Vit B12 is an important complex of cobalt3 . The rate of oxidation of the Synthesized complex Hexakis(p-chloral aniline) cobalt((II) chloride follows first order kinetics with respect to the complex and oxidant potassium iodate1,2,4-8 in aqueous medium. Increasing in the concentration of complex solution increases the rate of the oxidation. The rate of the reaction is studied by changing the acid concentrations of the medium , by changing the temperature and by introducing the neutral salt (NaCl) in the Medium. From this study the kinetic parameters Ea, A,∆S#,∆G#,∆H# are found out. From the observed fats it is inferred that the reaction follows three steps.

Abstract In this study, the stability of 10% hydrogen peroxide aqueous and non-aqueous solutions with the addition of 6% (w/w) of urea was evaluated. The solutions were stored at 20°C, 30°C and 40°C, and the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide proceeded according to first-order kinetics. With the addition of the urea in the solutions, the decomposition rate constant increased and the activation energy decreased. The temperature of storage also affected the decomposition of substance, however, 10% hydrogen peroxide solutions prepared in PEG-300, and stabilized with the addition of 6% (w/w) of urea had the best constancy.
