Abstract Colorless alkylmolybdates(VI) of composition R-MoO3-are generated in aqueous solutions by the alkaline hydrolysis of complexes R-Mo(Bpy)(0)2Br(Bpy = 2,2′-bipyridyl, R = CH3 and higher alkyl). At room temperature in alkaline aqueous solution, the new organometallic derivatives of oxomolybdate(VI) are remarkably resistant against Mo-C bond hydrolysis. Decomposition occurs more rapidly on heating, affording unrearranged alkanes according to the eq.: R-MoO3- + OH-→RH + Mo04=. In acidic solutions, the methylmolybdate(VI) species decomposes with the formation of a mixture of methane and ethane while higher alkylmolybdates carrying hydrogen in the β-position relative to molybdenum undergo Mo-C bond heterolysis by way of β-elimina-tion: R-CH2CH2-MoO3 → Mo+4 (aq) + H+ + R-CH = CH2. The Mo-C bond of alkylmolybdates is resistant to oxidants but is very sensitive to cleavage under reducing conditions. Reductive Mo-C bond cleavage occurs particularly rapidly in the presence of thiols and reduced ferredoxin model compounds. The latter reactions simulate the terminal steps of hydrocarbon producing reactions of nitrogenase with alternate substrates such as CN-, R-CN or R-NC, confirming previous mechanistic conclusions concerning the mechanism of nitrogenase action.

A procedure for the theoretical study of chemical reactions in solution by means of molecular dynamics simulations of aqueous solution at infinite dilution is described usingab initiosolute-solvent potentials and TIP3P water model to describe the interactions. The procedure is applied to the study of neutral hydrolysis of various molecules (HCONH2, HNCO, HCNHNH2, and HCOOCH3) via concerted and water-assisted mechanisms. We used the solvent as a reaction coordinate and the free energy curves for the calculation of the properties related with the reaction mechanism, namely, reaction and activation energies.

The experimental results obtained/or the hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl diphenyl phosphate (NPDPP) in the presence of sodium hydroxide (NaOH), micelles of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), and an aqueous solution of glycerol were analyzed taking into consideration the internal pressure and the cohesive forces of the reaction medium. The effect of glycerol on mice/le formation and also its influence on the internal pressure of the reaction medium are large enough to affect the micellar catalyzed alkaline hydrolysis of the phosphate ester.

Ab initio molecular dynamics simulations revealed that phosphorane, an important intermediate in the hydrolysis of phosphate diesters, has a lifetime of ∼1 ps in aqueous solution. QTAIM and EDA analyses along the reaction coordinate show that the hydrolysis reaction of phosphate esters is driven mainly by electrostatic interactions.
