The reaction kinetics and mechanism of the oxidations of leucomethylene blue (MBH) and leucothionine (TH) by iron (III) sulfate in aqueous solution were studied spectrophotometrically by the stopped-flow technique. MBH and TH, which were freshly prepared by photoreduction of methylene blue and thion

β¦ Synopsis
Kinetics of the reactions of imtdazole with u-oxobis(tetrakis(p-su~ophenyl)porphyrinatoiron(III)),
VFeTPPS)sOl , and uoxo-bis(tetrakis(p-trimethyl- ammoniumphenyl)porphyrinatoiron(II.I)), [(Fe-TAPP),O] , were investigated at 30 "C and 0.1 F (NaNOJ) ionic strength. The compound (FeTPPS)20 reacts at least forty times faster than (FeTAPP)20. From the pH dependence of this reaction, the reacting ligand species is inferred to be imidazolium ions. Rate laws and possible mechanisms of these reactions are discussed. Spectrophotometric titration was employed to determine the equilibrium constants of these reactions.

High-valent oxo-iron(IV) species are commonly proposed as the key intermediates in the catalytic mechanisms of iron enzymes. Water-soluble iron(III) tetrakis-5,10,15,20-(N-methyl-4-pyridyl)porphyrin (Fe(III)TMPyP) has been used as a model of heme-enzyme to catalyse the hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) o
