The kinetics of the complex formation reaction between Cu(II) and Fe(III) aqueous species, present in a 2 MCl/sup -/ medium, and a ..beta..-hydroxy oxime (2-hydroxy-5-tert-octylacetophenone oxime) dissolved in toluene has been studied by using a highly stirred apparatus which allows the contribution of interfacial film diffusion processes to the measured rate to be assumed equal to zero. The results obtained have indicated that the reactions take place at the interface. Rate laws have been measured. These rate laws have been explained by assuming as rate-determining steps certain interfacial reactions. The low values of the complex formation rate constants have been explained as being derived from the particular nature of the molecular environment where the reactions take place. A qualitative description of the physicochemical properties of the aqueous-organic interface and their influence on the rate of the interfacial chemical reactions has been also proposed in terms of interfacial structuring effects and interfacial steric effects. A reaction scheme where A (associative), I/sub d/ (dissociative interchange), and SCS (sterically controlled substitution) mechanisms are simultaneously operative has been suggested.
