Abstract
- The kinetics of the acid-catalysed dissociation of Cu<superscript>II</superscript> complexes of four N, N<superscript>′</superscript>-dialkyl-1,10-phenanthroline-2,9-dimethanamine ligands (alkyl = Me, Et, i-Pr, t-Bu) have been studied using a stopped-flow spectrophotometer in 6.6 × 10<superscript>−3</superscript> ∼ 0.5 mol dm<superscript>−3</superscript> HCl ( I = 0.5 mol dm<superscript>−3</superscript> HCl + NaCl) over a range of temperatures. The kinetic data can be fitted to the rate expression k<subscript>obs</subscript> = k K<superscript>′</superscript> <subscript>2</subscript>[H<superscript>+</superscript>]/(1 + K<superscript>′</superscript> <subscript>2</subscript>[H<superscript>+</superscript>]). The acid dissociation can be rationalized in terms of a six-step kinetic process involving rapid pre-equilibrium cleavage of the two Cu<superscript>II</superscript>–N(aliphatic amine) bonds, two rapid pre-equilibrium protonations and rate-determining cleavage of the Cu<superscript>II</superscript>–N(phenanthroline) bond. The temperature dependence of the rate was determined and the appropriate thermodynamic parameters obtained. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
