The kinetics of the reduction of the cobalt(111) octahedral complexes, CoF(NH3)52+, CoCl(NH3)52+ and CoBr(NH3)52+, by iron((11) in various Me2SO-H2O mixtures have been studied over a range of temperatures. The activation parameters obtained for the chloro and bromo systems are consistent with a change in the stereochemistry of the iron (11) atom in the bridged intermediate from octahedral in water to tetrahedral with increasing Me2SO concentration. The fluoro system, however, has activation parameters which are less sensitive to solvent composition and consistent with the iron(11) atom maintaining octahedral coordination.

The kinetics of the electron transfer reaction of NADH with 12-tungstocobaltate(III) has been studied over the range 5.07 ≤ 104[NADH] ≤ 15.22 mol dm-3, 7.0 ≤ pH ≤ 8.0 and 20 ≤ t ≤ 35oC in aqueous medium. The electron transfer reaction showed first-order dependence each in [NADH]Tand [12-tungstocobaltate(III)]T. The products of the reaction were found to be NAD+and 12-tungstocobaltate(II). The activation parameters ΔH#(kJ mol-1) and ΔS#(JK-1mol-1) of the electron transfer reactions were found to be 64.4±1.8 and -48.86±6.0. Negative value of ΔS#is an indicative of an ordered transition state for the electron transfer reaction.
