Abstract

The oxidation kinetics of cis-bis(ethylenediamine)isothiocyanonitrocobalt(III) ion with peroxodisulphate was investigated in the medium of 0.01 M-HClO4 in dependence on the ionic strength and temperature and the reaction products were identified. Extrapolated values of thermodynamic activation parameters were determined from the temperature dependence of the rate constants extrapolated to zero ionic strength. The distance of the closest approach was estimated for the reacting ions by evaluating the primary salt effect. To elucidate the mechanism, the influence of the cyclic polyether 18-crown-6 on the reaction rate was followed.
