The oxidation of nickel(II) bis(diethyldithiocarbamate) (NiL2) by N,N,N',N'-tetraethyl thiuramdisulphide (tds) can be described by the equation 2 NiL2 + tds ⇄ 2 NiL3 (NiL3 = tris(diethyldithiocarbamate) nickel(III)). The equilibrium constant of the reaction depends on the polarity of the solvent (4.4 . 10-3 in toluene, 1.3 . 10-3 in chloroform, and 8 . 10-4 in acetone and methanol). The rate constants k1 and k-2 and the ratio k2/k-1 were found for the reaction steps NiL2 + tds ⇄ NiL3 + L. and NiL2 + L. ⇄ NiL3, where L. is the (C2H5)2NCS2. radical.

The successive time derivatives of relative entropy and entropy production for a system with a reversible first-order reaction alternate in sign. It is proved that the relative entropy for reactions with an equilibrium constant smaller than or equal to one is completely monotonic in the whole definition interval, and for reactions with an equilibrium constant larger than one this function is completely monotonic at the beginning of the reaction and near to equilibrium.

The intramolecular nucleophilic addition of N-methyl-N-(2,4,6-trinitrophenyl)glycine anion in methanol-dimethyl sulfoxide mixtures produces spiro[(3-methyl-5-oxazolidinone)-2,1'-(2',4',6'-trinitrobenzenide)]. The spiro adduct has been identified by means of 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy. This is the first case when the formation of a Meisenheimer adduct with carboxylate ion is observed. Logarithm of the equilibrium constant of adduct formation increases linearly with the mole fraction of dimethyl sulfoxide in its mixture with methanol.

Building on the previous chapter, this chapter examines gas phase chemical equilibrium, and the equilibrium constant. This chapter takes a rigorous, yet very clear, ‘first principles’ approach, expressing the total Gibbs free energy of a reaction mixture at any time as the sum of the instantaneous Gibbs free energies of each component, as expressed in terms of the extent-of-reaction. The equilibrium reaction mixture is then defined as the point at which the total system Gibbs free energy is a minimum, from which concepts such as the equilibrium constant emerge. The chapter also explores the temperature dependence of equilibrium, this being one example of Le Chatelier’s principle. Finally, the chapter links thermodynamics to chemical kinetics by showing how the equilibrium constant is the ratio of the forward and backward rate constants. We also introduce the Arrhenius equation, closing with a discussion of the overall effect of temperature on chemical equilibrium.

Free magnesium (Mg2+) is a signal of the adenylate (ATP+ADP+AMP) status in the cells. It results from the equilibrium of adenylate kinase (AK), which uses Mg-chelated and Mg-free adenylates as substrates in both directions of its reaction. The AK-mediated primary control of intracellular [Mg2+] is finely interwoven with the operation of membrane-bound adenylate- and Mg2+-translocators, which in a given compartment control the supply of free adenylates and Mg2+ for the AK-mediated equilibration. As a result, [Mg2+] itself varies both between and within the compartments, depending on their energetic status and environmental clues. Other key nucleotide-utilizing/producing enzymes (e.g., nucleoside diphosphate kinase) may also be involved in fine-tuning of the intracellular [Mg2+]. Changes in [Mg2+] regulate activities of myriads of Mg-utilizing/requiring enzymes, affecting metabolism under both normal and stress conditions, and impacting photosynthetic performance, respiration, phloem loading and other processes. In compartments controlled by AK equilibrium (cytosol, chloroplasts, mitochondria, nucleus), the intracellular [Mg2+] can be calculated from total adenylate contents, based on the dependence of the apparent equilibrium constant of AK on [Mg2+]. Magnesium signaling, reflecting cellular adenylate status, is likely widespread in all eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms, due simply to the omnipresent nature of AK and to its involvement in adenylate equilibration.
