The kinetics of oxidation of 16 meta-, ortho- and para-substituted anilines with nine oxo(salen)chromium(V) ions are analyzed by using spectrophotometric, ESIMS and EPR techniques. The analysis shows that the reaction leads to the formation of chromium(III)-salen ion and oligomers of anilines as major products of the reaction and the application of Marcus theory to this reaction support a mechanism involving electron transfer from aniline to Cr(V) ion in the rate controlling step.
