Article abstract of DOI:10.1039/DT9900000615

The kinetics of oxidation of ascorbic acid and a series of substituted 1,2- and 1,4-dihydroxybenzene compounds (H2Q) by 3- have been investigated in acidic perchlorate media.The inverse dependences of the rate constants on acid concentrations for 2,3-dicyano-1,4-dihydroxybenzene, 4,5-dihydroxybenzene-1,3-disulphonate, and ascorbic acid have been attributed to concurrent rate-determining pathways involving the one-electron oxidations of H2Q or HQ(-) by 3- to the corresponding semiquinone or ascorbate radical intermediate.The cross-reaction rate constants have been correlated with the semiquinone or ascorbate reduction potentials in terms of the Marcus relationship to yield a 3--4- electron self-exchange rate constant of (1.0 +/- 0.8) . 105 dm3mol-1s-1.This is compared with those for other low-spin d5-d6 transition-metal complex couples and discussed in terms of the inner-sphere and solvent reorganization energies.
