β¦ Synopsis
The reactions of Cr VI with nine biological and nonbiological thiols RSH in aqueous acetate buffer pH 5.60 have Ε½ y . been followed by an spectrophotometric method, and a relatively stable intermediate the thioester RSCrO has been 3 Ε½ . Ε½ . Ε½ . observed. The rate constants corresponding to the formation k , decomposition k , and redox transformation k of 1 y1 2 that intermediate have been obtained in both the absence and presence of zinc ion. This ion acts as a true catalyst for both the formation and decomposition of the observed intermediate. The equilibrium constants for the formation of RSCrO y from 3 Ε½ . y Cr VI and RSH for the different thiols have been determined. A mechanism is proposed for the formation of RSCrO in 3
the presence of catalyst according to which the rate-determining step would be the bimolecular reaction between a zinc-thiolate complex and an acetyl-chromate ester, involving an interchange of ligands.
