Abstract

The effect of concentrated uni-univalent electrolytes on the oxidation kinetics of sulfur in the chelate ligands (-SCH2CH2NH2-)-, (-SOCH2CH2NH2-)-, (-SCH2COO-)2-, and (-SOCH2COO-)2- bound in Co(III) complexes with various oxidants (H2O2, IO4-, S2O82- has been studied at 298.2 K. The results show that the changes observed in the rate constants are due to interactions between the supporting electrolyte and solvent.
