The radical chain decomposition of cyclopropylmethyl (1-hydroxy-1-methylethyl)-diazene [Formula: see text] at 253–341 K in hexafluorobenzene or in dichloromethane solution containing bromotrichloromethane affords cyclopropylmethyl bromide, 4-bromo-1-butene, 1-bromo-5,5,5-trichloro-2-pentene, and 3,5-dibromo-1,1,1-trichloropentane from the cyclopropylmethyl portion of 1. Other major products are nitrogen, acetone, and chloroform. The rate constant for formation of cyclopropylmethyl bromide by attack of cyclopropylmethyl free radicals from 1 at bromine of BrCCl3[Formula: see text] was calculated from the product composition using the known rate constant for rearrangement of cyclopropylmethyl radicals to 3-buten-1-yl radicals. At 25 °C,[Formula: see text] and the temperature dependence is given by [Formula: see text], where θ = 2.3RT kcal/mol−1. Non-chain decomposition of (CH3)2C(OH)N=N—R (2, R = Bu, and 3, R = Ph) in the presence of excess 1,1,3,3-tetramethylisoindolin-2-yloxyl (4) and bromotrichloromethane afforded BuBr and PhBr, respectively, in yields determined by the relative concentrations of 4 and BrCCl3. Rate constants for coupling (kc) of Bu• and Ph• with 4 were assumed to be proportional to rate constants for diffusion controlled reactions, kd, which were estimated from measured viscosities. Values of [Formula: see text] and[Formula: see text], calculated from kc and product yields for reactions at 80 °C, are 0.26 × 109 and 1.55 × 109 M−1 s−1, respectively. The relative radical reactivities toward BrCCl3 at 80 °C are Ph, 6; cpm, 5; Bu, 1.

In the pH range 6.6–8.6, [MnL2(H2O)2]+ and [MnL2(H2O)(OH)] (HL = acetylacetone) oxidize oxalate ion (ox2−) to CO2 through the inner-sphere intermediates [MnL2(ox)]− and [MnL2(OH)(ox′)]2−, where ox′ is a half-bonded (unidentate) oxalate ion. Their rate constants of decomposition are 1.0 × 10−4 s−1 and 11.2 × 10−2 M−1 s−1 at 30 °C and at I = 1.0 M (NaClO4). Decomposition of these mixed complexes produces free radicals, presumably CO2−, which is further oxidized to CO2 by another Mn(III) in a fast step. At pH 4.2, [Mn(ox)3]3− is produced quantitatively when [ox]0 ≥ 0.12 M, which has been characterized spectrally, and its unimolecular decomposition rate constant k (= 2.7 × 10−4s−1 at 30 °C and I = 1.0 M) compares well with that reported earlier (2.44 × 10−4 s−1 at 25 °C and I = 1.0 M).

Group Effects

First-order rate constants (k1) have been measured for pyrolysis of azidobenzenes in decalin solution, in the presence of a free-radical chain inhibitor to prevent any induced decomposition. The new values of k1 for the spontaneous unimolecular thermolysis are lower than previously reported ones, and require revision of published neighbouring group effects. Product yields ( azo compound and primary amine) vary with initial concentration of azide in ways which suggest the species responsible for induced decomposition is not triplet arylnitrene , but a solvent-derived free radical. There is no evidence for induced decomposition when nitrobenzene is the solvent. For aryl azides with no neighbouring group effects operating in their pyrolysis, the Arrhenius parameters Eact and ΔSactobey a precise linear relationship.

Intrinsic Rate Constant

Background: There is a need for equations with which to calculate the intrinsic rate constants that can further characterise enzyme catalysed reactions despite what seems to be conventional differences in methodology in the literature. Methods: Theoretical, experimental (Bernfeld method), and computational methods. Objectives: 1) To derive an alternative intrinsic rate constant equations consistent with their dimension, 2) derive electrostatic intermolecular potential energy equation, (xe), 3) calculate the intrinsic rate constants for forward (k1) and reverse (k2) reactions, and 4) define the dependence or otherwise of kinetic constants on diffusion and deduce the catalytic efficiency. Results and Discussion: The ultimate quantitative results were ~ 64.69 ±  0.49 exp (+3)/ min (k2) (and kd (s) = ~ 60.66 exp (+3)/ min), ~ 1594.48 ± 11.99 exp (+3) exp (+3) L/mol.min (k1) (and ka (s) = ~1482.47 exp (+3) L/mol.min), ~ 58.00 ± 10.83 exp (+3) /min, the apparent rate constant for reverse reaction (kb), and ~ 75.83 ± 10.83 exp (+3) /min, the rate constant for product formation (k3). The catalytic efficiency was: 3.025 exp (+ 9) L / mol.     Conclusion: The relevant equations were derived. Based on the derived equations the intrinsic rate constants can be calculated. Since k3 is > kb, then k3 is diffusion controlled and it appears that the enzyme has reached kinetic perfection. The evaluation of rate constants either from the perspective of diffusion dependency or independency cannot be valid without Avogadro number.

Temperature Dependences

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.

Hydrogen abstraction from (CH3),S and CH3COCH3 by CH3 radicals CH3+CH3SCH3 → CH4+CH3SCH2 CH3 + CH3COCH3 → CH4 + CH3COCH2 has been studied in the temperature range 120-245�. The rate constants, based on the value of 1013.34cm3 mol-l s-1 for the recombination of CH3 radicals, are given by (k in cm3 mol-1 s-1, E in kJ mol-1, R = 0.008314 kJ K-1 mol-1): logk1 = (11.62 � 0.08) ? (38.35 � 0.68)/2.303RT logk3 = (11.61 � 0.05) ? (40.48 � 0.46)/2.303RT Combination of the results for (1) with thermochemical data gives a calculated value of Logk-1 = (11.8 -63.7/2.303RT for the rate constant of the reverse reaction. The results for CH3+(CH3)2S are compared with all of the available data for hydrogen abstraction by free radicals from both sulphur-containing compounds, and molecules of the type (CH3)xM.

The Cu(I)•L2 complex with cysteine ligands at total Cu(I) concentrations of 10–30 μM was shown to be oxidised by cysteinyl radicals (RS•) with a diffusion-controlled rate constant k11a = 1.8 × 109 M−1 s−1. The corresponding reaction with the cysteine disulphide anion (RS•—SR−) proceeded at a slower rate, k11b = 2.7 × 108 M−1s−1. At higher Cu(I) concentrations, a slow and a fast component of absorption growth was observed. The slow component rate was independent of Cu(I) concentration, but it became more intense as the Cu(I) concentration rose. The yields and kinetic data were shown to be consistent with the presence of an equilibrium between the Cu(I)•L2 species and a second Cu(I) complex, Cu(I)2•L3, with an equilibrium constant of K1 = 162.[Formula: see text]This finding is consistent with the earlier work of Bagiyan etal. The rate constant of the oxidation of Cu(I)2•L3 by the cysteinyl radical was k12 = 1.0 × 109 M−1 s−1. Similar results were obtained with penicillamine, except the rate constants and equilibrium constant were smaller, (k11a = 4.5 × 108 M−1 s−1, k11b < 2 × 108 M−1 s−1, k12 = 5.5 × 108 M−1 s−1 and K1 = 113). This was attributed to the presence of the β-methyl groups in penicillamine, which exert a large steric effect.The ultraviolet spectra of the long-lived products, which are stable on a millisecond timescale, was consistent with a Cu(II)•L2 structure with a square planar geometry. The oxidation of the Cu(I)2.L3 species proceeded via intermediates, which relaxed to the final product spectra with rate constants of k13b = 2.6 and 1.1 × 104 s−1 for cysteine and penicillamine, respectively. Comparison of the spectra of the intermediates with published data showed that they were consistent with the presence of a bridging thiolate ligand between Cu(I) and Cu(II). Keywords: oxidation, copper, mixed valence, cysteine, penicillamine, complexation.
