The disappearance of trans-[Co(LH)2(NH3)X] (LH = dimethylglyoximate ion, X = chloride or bromide) has been studied in aqueous solutions over a range of alkali concentrations at various temperatures. The kinetics were done with excess of hydroxide ion at a constant ionic strength so that pseudo first-order rate constants were obtained in all the runs. The results were interpreted in terms of the rapid formation of a pre- equilibrium species which then reacts in a rate-determining step to give products. The relatively large equilibrium constants support a conjugate-base pre-equilibrium, in which the proton is lost from oxygen, while the relatively low reactivities of the conjugate-bases are consistent with the absence of electropositive electromeric effects. The similarity in the reactivities of the chloro and the bromo conjugate-bases suggests the possibility of an SN2CB mechanism.

The kinetics of base hydrolysis of the complexes trans-[Rh(en)2(OH)X]+ (X = Br or Cl) follow the pseudo first order rate equation kobs = k1 + k2[OH−]. The small contribution of the [OH−]-dependent term is due to lower values of ΔS2≠ − ΔS1≠ than are observed for the complexes cis-[Rh(en)2(OH)Cl]+ and [Rh(NH3)5X]2+ (X = Cl, Br, or I ). The values of ΔH1≠ are used to obtain new values of the intrinsickinetictrans-effect (i.k.t.e.) of hydroxide that agree with that determined from aquation of trans.-[Rh(en)2(OH)I]+ and place hydroxide in the i.k.t.e. series [Formula: see text] The new data also allow hydroxide to be placed in a thermodynamic trans-effect (t.t.e.) series I > OH > NH3 > Br > Cl > OH2, and the different position of hydroxide in the two series is discussed.

The kinetics for the appearance of chloride ion from aqueous solutions of the cis-chloroanilinebis(ethylenediamine)cobalt(III) cation are determined over the pH ranges of 2-3 at 40.0� and of 8-9 at 0�. By using self-buffered mixtures, the rate constants for the reaction are also measured at 40.0� as a function of the concentration of complex or of free aniline. The results are discussed in terms of the conjugate- base mechanism. A rationalization of this mechanism and the ion-pair mechanism is proposed to incorporate the base hydrolysis of other previously investigated systems where the complexes are decidedly much less acidic. At a higher temperature (65.0�), both chloride ion and aniline are liberated at similar rates, and the process is treated as parallel first-order reactions. By using complexes with meta- and para-substituted anilines, the effect of the methyl substituent on reactivity is studied.

The two-step acidic hydrolysis of α-hydroxybenzylphosphonates and a few related derivatives was monitored in order to determine the kinetics and to map the reactivity of the differently substituted phosphonates in hydrolysis. Electron-withdrawing substituents increased the rate, while electron-releasing ones slowed down the reaction. Both hydrolysis steps were characterized by pseudo-first-order rate constants. The fission of the second P-O-C bond was found to be the rate-determining step.

The aquation of Cr(NH3)5NO32+ in acidic solutions yields not only Cr(NH3)5OH23+ (33%) but also more highly aquated species including cis-Cr(NH3)4(OH2)23+ and Cr(NH3)3(OH2)33+. In 0.1 M HClO4, several successive reactions of comparable rates are involved, but at pH 6 only the two competing initial reactions producing Cr(NH3)5OH2+ and cis-Cr(NH3)4(OH)NO3+ are rate-controlling, so that the overall reaction rate is first-order in substrate with the apparent parameters kA = 2.4 × 10−3 s−1(25°), ΔHA* = 20.4 kcal mol−1, and ΔSA* = −2.1 cal deg−1 mol−1. In alkaline solutions, the pseudo-first-order rate of hydrolysis at a given [OH−] is governed by kobs = kA + kOH [OH−], with kOH = 1.1 × 10−2 M−1 s−1 (25°), ΔHOH* = 25.2 kcal mol−1, and ΔSOH* = 17.0 cal deg−1 mol−1. The path characterized by kOH leads exclusively to Cr(NH3)5OH2+. In both aquation and base hydrolysis, it is the Cr—ONO2 bond that is broken. The production of more highly aquated species in the aquation reactions is attributed to transient chelation of NO3− at the expense of a ligand cis to it. The evidence for this mechanism, and for its operation when oxyanions other than nitrate are coordinated to Cr(III), is reviewed.

Salts of one isomeric form of the chlorocycloalkylaminebis(ethylenediamine)cobalt(111) series of cations have been prepared and characterized. They are tentatively assigned a cis configuration on the basis of visible absorption spectroscopy. The first-order rate constants for the solvolytic aquation of these cations have been determined at 50.5�, and the results suggest the presence of steric acceleration. The second-order rate constants for the base hydrolysis of these cations have also been determined at 0� and ionic strength of 0.1M. These results are discussed in terms of the conjugate-base/ion-pair mechanistic spectrum postulated previously.

The base hydrolysis of trans-[Rh(cyclam)XY]+ (cyclam = 1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane; X− and Y− = Cl−, Br−, and I−) are studied in aqueous solution over a range of OH− concentration and at various temperatures. The kinetics are done at a constant ionic strength with excess of [OH−] (smallest ratio = 200:1) so that pseudo first order rate constants are obtained for all the determinations. All of the reactions proceed with complete retention of configuration, and no trans-to-cis isomerization is found. The kinetic trans effect of these complexes is I− > Br− > Cl− on a rate basis, but based on ΔH≠, I− > Br− = Cl−. These Rh(III) complexes exhibit kinetic class (b) character on the ΔH≠ basis. The results of the rate constants and the activation parameters are interpreted in ternis of an SN1CB mechanism. The behavior of these complexes is compared to that of the other analogous complexes.

The compounds [Cr(RNH2)5Cl](ClO4)2, where R = H, CH3, C2H5, n-C3H7, and n-C4H9, have been prepared and the replacement of chloride by either water or hydroxide ion subjected to kinetic examination. Below about pH 7 the reaction was acid independent, and ΔHA* was 22.4 kcal mole−1 when ammonia was the inert ligand compared with about 26.4 kcal mole−1 when the inert ligand was a primary amine. The corresponding ΔSA* values increased continuously with R from H to n-C4H9. At higher pH the rate became inversely dependent upon the acidity of the solution, and ΔHB* decreased from 26.7 kcal mole−1 for ammonia as the inert ligand to 25.4 kcal mole−1 for an amine as the inert ligand. For the pH dependent reaction the values obtained for ΔSB* were much larger than for the pH independent reaction but the pattern of variation as the inert ligands were changed was quite similar in the two cases. The great similarity in the trends of ΔS* values for the acid and base hydrolysis reactions has been interpreted in terms of a rate-determining step that is primarily dissociative in both cases.

Abstract The optimized HCl-catalyzed hydrolysis of alkyl diphenylphosphinates is described. The reaction times and pseudo-first-order rate constants suggested the iPr > Me > Et ∼ Pr ∼ Bu order of reactivity in respect of the alkyl group of the phosphinates. The MW-assisted p-toluenesulfonic acid (PTSA)-catalyzed variation means a better alternative possibility due to the shorter reaction times, and the alkaline hydrolysis is another option. The transesterification of alkyl diphenylphosphinates took place only in the presence of suitable ionic liquids, such as butyl-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphorate ([bmim][PF6]) and butyl-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([bmim][BF4]). The application of ethyl-methylimidazolium hydrosulfate ([emim][HSO4]) and butyl-methylimidazolium chloride ([bmim][Cl]) was not too efficient, as the formation of the ester was accompanied by the fission of the O–C bond resulting in the formation of Ph2P(O)OH. This surprising transformation may be utilized in the phosphinate → phosphinic acid conversion.

Abstract We describe a simple, highly reproducible kinetic technique for precisely measuring temperature in spectrophotometric systems having reaction cells that are inaccessible to conventional temperature probes. The method is based on the temperature dependence of pseudo-first-order rate constants for the acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of N-o-tolyl-D-glucosylamine. Temperatures of reaction cuvette contents are measured with a precision of +/- 0.05 degrees C (1 SD).

The acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of methyl isonitrile has been examined. The initial hydrolysis product is N-methylformamide which is further hydrolyzed to methyl amine and formic acid at a much slower rate. The hydrolysis to N-methylformamide is pseudo-first order in methyl isonitrile and shows a linear rate dependence on concentration of general (buffer) acid at fixed pH. The significance of general acid-catalysis in terms of the mechanism of the hydrolysis is considered and taken as evidence for carbon protonation rather than nitrogen protonation as the initiating step.
