The exchange of N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) between M(NH3)5DMF3+ and solvent in acidic DMF solutions proceeds with pseudo-first-order kinetics governed by the parameters kex(55 °C) = 8 × 10−5 and 1.1 × 10−4 s−1, ΔHex* = 113 and 99 kJ mol−1, ΔSex* = +22 and −20 J K−1 mol−1, and ΔVex* = +3.2 and −1.4 cm3 mol−1 for M = Co and Rh respectively. For M = Co (but not Rh), the exchange rate was much faster in the absence of acid, and reduction of Co(III) to Co(II) was significant at low acidities. Solubility problems precluded the measurement of meaningful rate data for the reactions of M(NH3)5DMF3+ with nucleophiles X− in acidic DMF solution except for the case M = Co with X = Br−, for which a limiting first-order rate coefficient 2.5 times kex was obtained for the formation of Co(NH3)5Br2+ at high [Br−] at 55 °C. Despite this last result, the mechanism of simple substitution reactions is evidently dissociative interchange (Id) for pentaamminecobalt(III) complexes in general, but associative interchange (Ia) for pentaamminerhodium(III) analogues.

The exchange of potassium between cells and plasma of heparinized human blood has been studied in vitro using the radioactive isotope K42. The changes in cell and plasma specific activity are characteristic of a simple two-compartment system. The mean of seven determinations of the exchange rate at 38°C. is 1.8 per cent of the cellular potassium per hour. The results indicate that at 38°C. the rate is relatively insensitive to oxygenation or reduction of the hemoglobin, and to 1200 r of gamma radiation. With varying temperature the rate follows pseudo first order kinetics with a Q10 of 2.35. Below 15°C. the rate of loss of potassium exceeds the rate of uptake.

Iron nanoparticles are synthesized and size characterized using HRTEM, FESEM, and XRD. Polyethylene glycol(PEG), carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), and poly N-vinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) are used as nanoparticle stabilizers. The sizes of Fe nps are found to be 9 nm, 14 nm, and 17 nm ± 1 nm corresponding to PEG, CMC, and PVP stabilizers, respectively. The three different iron nanoparticles (Fe nps) prepared are used as catalysts in the hydrogenation reaction of various substituted aromatic ketones to alcohols with NaBH4. The progress of the reaction was monitored using time variance UV spectra. Kinetic plots are made from the absorbance values and the pseudo first order rate coefficient values are determined. Catalytic efficiency of the Fe nps is obtained by comparing the pseudo first order rate coefficient values, times of reaction, and % yield. Fe-PEG nps was found to act as better catalyst than Fe-CMC nps and Fe-PVP nps. Also, effects of substituents in the aromatic ring of ketones reveal that +I substituents are better catalysed than –I substituents.

The kinetics of oxidation of the mercurous ion by peroxidase have been measured by following the disappearance of mercurous ion using cold-vapour atomic absorption spectroscopy. Pseudo-first-order kinetics are observed with respect to mercurous ion, and the pseudo-first-order rate constants are linearly related to peroxidase concentration, showing first-order dependence on peroxidase. This behaviour is identical to oxidation of elemental mercury, and the second-order rate constant, 1.44 × 104 M−1 s−1 at 23 °C, is also, within experimental error, the same as that for elemental mercury oxidation. The data are interpreted in terms of peroxidase-induced disproportionation of the mercurous dimer, followed by two-electron oxidation of zero-valent mercury.

Abstract The Jaffé reaction for creatinine assay appears to follow pseudo-first-order kinetics; first-order rate constants are different for different samples. Rate constants for 10 different serum samples varied from a low value of 0.0040 +/- 0.0003 s-1 to 0.0084 +/- 0.0008 s-1. We describe an approach for determining first-order rate constants from kinetic data and discuss the effects of the above observations on the mathematical formulations required for reliable kinetic determinations of creatinine.

Pseudo-first-order rate constants for the decarboxylation of pyrimidine-2-carboxylic acid have been determined at 65 °C in aqueous solution over the acidity range pH = 2 to H0 = −9.5. Rate constants increase rapidly from pH = 2 to H0 = −3, then remain constant. This behaviour can be accounted for by a Hammick-type mechanism in which monoprotonated pyrimidine-2-carboxylic acid loses carbon dioxide to form an ylide (stabilized by the adjacent positively charged nitrogens) which rapidly converts to pyrimidine.

Pseudo-first-order rate constants (kobsd) were measured for nucleophilic substitution reactions of O-Y-substituted-phenyl O-phenyl thionocarbonates (4a–4h) with alkali metal ethoxides (EtOM, M = Li, Na, or K) in anhydrous ethanol at 25.0 ± 0.1 °C. Plots of kobsd vs. [EtOM] exhibited upward curvature for the reaction of O-4-nitrophenyl O-phenyl thionocarbonate (4a) with EtOK in the presence of 18-crown-6-ether (18C6), but showed downward curvature for the reaction with EtOLi, indicating that the reaction is catalyzed by the 18C6-crowned K+ ion, but is inhibited by Li+ ion. The kobsd values were dissected into kEtO− and kEtOM, the second-order rate constant for the reaction with dissociated EtO− and ion-paired EtOM, respectively. The reactivity of EtOM toward 4a increases in the order EtOLi < EtONa < EtO− < EtOK < EtOK/18C6, which is in contrast to that reported previously for the corresponding reaction of 4-nitrophenyl phenyl carbonate (a C=O analogue of 4a), e.g., EtO− ≈ EtOK/18C6 < EtOLi < EtONa < EtOK. The reaction mechanism, including the transition-state model and the origin of the contrasting reactivity patterns found for the reactions of the C=O and C=S compounds, are discussed.

In the present study, advanced oxidation treatment, the TiO2 /UV/H2O2  process was applied to decolorisation of the reactive yellow dyes in aqueous solution. The UV radiation was carried out with a 6 W low-pressure mercury lamp. The rate of color removal was studied by measuring the absorbency at a characteristic wavelength. The effects of H2O2 dosage, dye initial concentration and pH on decolorisation kinetics in the batch photoreactor were investigated. The highest decolorisation rates were observed (98.8) at pH range between 3 and 7. The optimal levels of H2O2 needed for the process were examined. It appears that high levels of H2O2 could reduce decolorisation by scavenging the *OH. The color degradation rate decreases as the dye concentration increases. The rate coefficient (k=0.0319 min-1) of degradation, follows the pseudo-first-order kinetics.

Background: Prodrugs principle is widely used to improve the pharmacological and pharmacokinetic properties of some active drugs. Much effort was made to develop metronidazole prodrugs to enhance antibacterial activity and or to improve pharmacokinetic properties of the molecule or to lower the adverse effects of metronidazole. Objective: In this work, the pharmacokinetic properties of some of monoterpenes and eugenol pro metronidazole molecules that were developed earlier were evaluated in-vitro. The kinetic hydrolysis rate constants and half-life time estimation of the new metronidazole derivatives were calculated using the validated RP-HPLC method. Method: Chromatographic analysis was done using Zorbbax Eclipse eXtra Dense Bonding (XDB)-C18 column of dimensions (250 mm, 4.6 mm, 5 μm), at ambient column temperature. The mobile phase was a mixture of sodium dihydrogen phosphate buffer of pH 4.5 and methanol in gradient elution, at 1ml/min flow rate. The method was fully validated according to the International Council for Harmonization (ICH) guidelines. The hydrolysis process carried out in an acidic buffer pH 1.2 and in an alkaline buffer pH 7.4 in a thermostatic bath at 37ºC. Results: The results followed pseudo-first-order kinetics. All metronidazole prodrugs were stable in the acidic pH, while they were hydrolysed in the alkaline buffer within a few hours (6-8 hr). The rate constant and half-life values were calculated, and their values were found to be 0.082- 0.117 hr-1 and 5.9- 8.5 hr., respectively. Conclusion: The developed method was accurate, sensitive, and selective for the prodrugs. For most of the prodrugs, the hydrolysis followed pseudo-first-order kinetics; the method might be utilised to conduct an in-vivo study for the metronidazole derivatives with monoterpenes and eugenol.
