A detailed study has been made of the temperature dependence of the rate of reduction of CoCl-(NH3)52+ by iron(II) in N,N-dimethylformamide. The observed rate constants (kobs) for this reaction are complex functions of an equilibrium constant (K) for the formation of a bridged intermediate, the rate constant for electron transfer in this bridged intermediate (k), and the iron(II) concentration. From studies of the dependence of kobs on iron(II) concentration at five temperatures the temperature dependences of both K and k have been resolved, yielding respectively ΔH� -20k�12 kJ mol-1, ΔS� -44�40 J K-1 mol-1 and ΔH* 107�4 kJ mol-1, ΔS* 57�16 J K-1 mol-1. The results are interpreted in terms of a bridged intermediate in which the iron atom is tetrahedrally coordinated.

The kinetics of the reduction of cis-[CoCl2(en)2] � (en = ethylenediamine) by iron(II) in Me2SO have been studied at four temperatures. The rate law has the form d[CoIII]/dt = kK [COIII][FeII]/(1+K[FII]) The pseudo-first-order rate constants determined at high [Fell] have been resolved into k and K, and their independent temperature dependence has been studied. The results are totally consistent with an inner-sphere electron-transfer process in which the precursor complex contains a double bridge using both the cis-chloro ligands and in which the iron atom is octahedrally coordinated.

The preparation of [Ni(1,4,7-triazacyciodecane)2]3+, (Ni(10-aneN3)23+) is described. The existing procedure has been modified leading to good yields of the ligand trihydrochloride. The nickel(II) analogue (reported previously) is oxidised in a facile manner, either by Co3+aq in acidic aqueous media or by NO+ in CH3CN. Since the octahedral NiN6, chromophore is retained upon electron transfer, outer sphere reactions both of the Ni(II) and Ni(III) species have been studied. Rates of oxidation by various nickel(III) macrocycles have been measured and details are provided. Electrochemical oxidation of the Ni(II) complex is consistent with E0(Ni(10-aneN3)23+/2+) = 0.997 V (vs. NHE). The data have been used in a Marcus correlation, leading to the self-exchange rate k11 for the couple (Ni(10-aneN3)23+/2+) = (2 ± 1) × 104 M−1 s−1. This value is compared with other data derived using octahedral Ni(II)/Ni(III) centres. The oxidation of the Ni(II) complex by Co(III)aq has been studied in both protonated and deuterated media. There is no evidence for any proton transfer (from the N—H) being coupled to the electron transfer step. The observed rate constant for the reaction of Co3+ with Ni(II)(10-aneN3)22+ (550 M−1 s−1) may be compared with the calculated outer sphere rate (270 M−1 s−1). An estimate of k11 (CoOH2+/+) ~ 3 M−1 s−1 for the CoOH2+/+ exchange is discussed.

The acceleration effect of p-toluidine on the electroreduction of Zn(II) on the mercury electrode surface in binary mixtures water-methanol and water-dimethylformamide is discussed. The obtained apparent and true forward rate constants of Zn(II) reduction indicate that the rate constant of the first electron transfer increases in the presence of p-toluidine. The acceleration effect may probably be accounted for by the concept of the formation on the mercury electrode an activated complex, presumably composed of p-toluidine and solvent molecules.

In this publication we report: (i) the rate constants for reaction of the hydrated electron with 1-hexyn-3-ol ((8.6 ± 0.3) × 108 dm3 mol−1 s−1 at 18 °C), cinnamonitrile ((2.3 ± 0.2) × 1010 dm3 mol−1 s−1 at 20 °C), and 1,3-diethyl-2-thiourea ((3.5 ± 0.3) × 108 dm3 mol−1 s−1 at 22 °C). For cinnamonitrile and diethylthiourea, the temperature dependence up to 200 °C and 150 °C, respectively, is also reported; (ii) the rate constants for the reaction of the hydroxyl radical with 1-hexyn-3-ol ((5.5 ± 0.5) × 109 dm3 mol−1 s−1 at 20 °C), cinnamonitrile ((9.2 ± 0.3) × 109 dm3 mol−1 s−1 at 21 °C), and diethylthiourea ((8.0 ± 0.8) × 108 dm3 mol−1 s−1 at 22 °C). For cinnamonitrile, the temperature dependence up to 200 °C is also reported; (iii) the rate constant for the hydrogen atom reacting with 1-hexyn-3-ol ((4.3 ± 0.4) × 109 dm3 mol−1 s−1 at 20 °C).

Previous work on the reduction of a series of cobalt(III) complexes by iron(II) in dipolar aprotic solvents and in aqueous mixtures has been extended to reduction by copper(I). The greater stability of copper(I) to disproportionation in these media has permitted the study of the reduction of CoF(NH3)52+ and Co(HCOO)(NH3)52+ in range of solvents over a number of temperatures with a precision not possible in previous studies in water. The results are consistent with an inner-sphere mechanism in which the copper(I) reductant is preferentially solvated by dimethyl sulfoxide to the exclusion of water in mixed solvents.
