Catalytic oxidation of the (hydroxymethyl)chromium(III) ion by the superoxochromium(III) ion. [CrO sub 2 sup 2+]
- Iowa State Univ., Ames (United States)
The superoxochromium(III) ion, CrO{sub 2}{sup 2+}, is an efficient catalyst for autoxidation of the (hydroxymethyl)chromium(III) ion, CrCH{sub 2}OH{sup 2+}, in aqueous solution. The reaction involves one-electron oxidation of CrCH{sub 2}OH{sup 2+} by CrO{sub 2}{sup 2+}, k = 137 M{sup {minus} 1} s{sup {minus} 1}, to yield Cr{sup 2+}, CH{sub 2}O, and the novel (hydroperoxo)chromium(III) ion, CrO{sub 2}H{sup 2+}. The Cr{sup 2+} produced reacts rapidly with O{sub 2} to regenerate the catalyst, CrO{sub 2}{sup 2+}. When oxygen is depleted, the Cr{sup 2+} reacts instead with CrO{sub 2}{sup 2+} to produce the chromyl(IV) ion, CrO{sup 2+}. This initiates a chain reaction that rapidly consumes the remaining CrO{sub 2}{sup 2+} and a stoichiometric amount of CrCH{sub 2}OH{sup 2+}.
