Title: Kinetics of the oxidation of metal complexes by manganese(III) aquo ions in acidic perchlorate media: the Mn(H/sub 2/O)/sub 6//sup 2 +/-Mn(H/sub 2/O)/sub 6//sup 3 +/ electron-exchange rate constant

The kinetics of the reduction of manganese(III) aquo ions by a series of ML/sub 32//sup +/ complexes (M = Os, Fe, Ru and L is 2,2'-bipyridine and 1,10-phenanthroline or a substituted derivative), by Fe(H/sub 2/O)/sub 6//sup 2 +/ ions, and by Ni(H/sub 2/oxime)/sup 2 +/, Ni((14)aneN/sub 4/)/sup 2 +/, and Ni-(Me/sub 6/(14)4, 11-dieneN/sub 4/)/sup 2 +/ were investigated in acidic perchlorate media at 25.0 /sup 0/C. The second-order rate constants are given by ((k/sub 1/ + K/sub 2/K/sub 1h/(H/sup +/), where k/sub 1/ and K/sub 2/ are rate constants for the Mn/sup 3 +/ and MnOH/sup 2 +/ pathways and K/sub 1h/ is the hydrolysis constant of Mn(H/sub 2/O)/sub 6//sup 3 +/ (K/sub 1h/ = 1.02 +/- 0.14 M, ..mu.. = 2.0 M). The presence of a significant MnOH/sup 2 +/ pathway for the Ni(II) complexes and for Fe(H/sub 2/O)/sub 6//sup 2 +/ is interpreted in terms of an inner-sphere mechanism. An electron-exchange rate constant of 1 x10/sup -9/ M/sup -1/s/sup -1/ for the Mn(H/sup 2/O)/sub 6//sup 2 +///sup 3 +/ couple was estimated from the ML/sub 3//sup 2 +//Mn/sup 3 +/ cross-reaction data by using a modified Marcus relationship. This value is lower than the exchange rate constant of 10/sup -4+/-1/ M /sup -1/ s/sup -1/ calculated by using a semiclassical outer-sphere model and is also lower than the value of 4 x 10/sup -3/ M/sup -1/ s/sup -1/ calculated from the oxidation of Fe(H/sub 2/O)/sub 6//sup 2 +/ by Mn(H/sub 2/O)/sub 6//sup 3 +/. The kinetics of the oxidation of Mn(H/sub 2/O)/sub 6//sup 2 +/ by Co(H/sub 2/O)/sub 6//sup 3 +/ were also studied, and the redox reactions of Mn(H/sub 2/O)/sub 6//sup 3 +/ and Co(H/sub 2/O)/sub 6//sup 3 +/ are compared. Various mechanisms for the reactions of these strong oxidants are considered. 69 references, 1 figure, 2 tables.
