✦ Synopsis
The kinetics of the reactions of manganese(II1) complexes of trans-cyclohexane-l,2-diamine-NNN'N'-tetraacetic acid (H4cydta) and 2,2'-bipyridyl (bpy) have been investigated in the acid ranges [H'] = 1.00 x M and [H'] = 0.10 -1.00 M, respectively, at different temperatures and at a constant ionic strength. Both the molecular and mono-anionic forms of ascorbic acid have been found to be reactive in the experimental acid ranges. The monoanionic species has been found to be more reactive than the molecular form. Attempts have been made to correlate the kinetic results in terms of the Marcus relationship for outer-sphere electron transfer reaction. Differences between the calculated rates (ko..) and experimental rates (k) by approximately four and seven orders of magnitude (ko., k) suggest an innersphere pathway for the reaction of Mn(cydta)(HzO)-. Inner-sphere reaction is also believed to be operative for the other reaction. The activation parameters have been evaluated and compared with other reported systems.
