The kinetics of the reaction of ferroprotoporphyrin IX with CO have been studied in mixed glycerol–water solvents of high viscosity in order that the simultaneous influence of chemical activation and diffusion control of the reaction might be observed. Analyses of curved Arrhenius plots indicated that in the low temperature high viscosity limits the reaction is largely diffusion controlled. The deviation of the second order diffusion rate constants, from that predicted by simple theory for reaction between uniformly reactive spheres of equal radii, is a factor of 0.3 to 0.9, depending upon the solvent composition. A couple of other models for diffusion controlled reaction, ascribing these deviations to changes of steric requirements, were also examined.

The optical spectra and reaction kinetics of some a-aminoalkyl radicals, RĊHN(CH2R)2; R≡H, Me, Ph, were measured in solution using the technique of modulation spectroscopy. These radicals undergo diffusion controlled self-reaction with rate constants [Formula: see text]. When R≡Ph, the absorption spectrum has a well defined maximum at 346 nm; ε = 3390 M−1 cm−1, while the spectra when R≡H or Me were less intense [Formula: see text] and tailed into the visible. These spectra are substantially red-shifted when compared with those of simple alkyl radicals, an effect which is thought to be due to the interaction between the unpaired electron and the lone pair of electrons on nitrogen.
