A kinetic and product study of the reaction between CBr4 and the cage complex 2+ in CH3CN/H2O at 20 deg C has been performed.The reaction was found to be first order in both CBr4 and 2+, the only products found being CHBr3 and C2Br6.The mechanism is discussed and suggested to be an outer-sphere electron transfer mechanism, with a rate constant for the rate determining electron transfer step kET = 0.020 M-1 s-1 (CH3CN/H2O ; 36 mM, 3.6 mM and 9.1 mM).The possibility that the complexation c hemistry of CBr4 might influence the reaction is critically considered.
