Kinetic study of the oxidation of propan-1-ol by alkaline hexacyanoferrate(III) catalyzed by ruthenium trichloride
Mucientes Poblete Rodriguez Santiago
The oxidation kinetics of propan-1-ol by alkaline hexacyanoferrate(III) catalyzed by ruthenium trichloride were studied spectrophotometrically. The initial rate method was used for kinetic analysis. The reaction rate shows a fractional order in [oxidant] and [substrate] and a first-order dependence on [RuCl3]. The dependence on [OH-] is complicated. A reaction mechanism involving two active catalytic species is proposed. Each one of these species forms an intermediate complex with the substrate. The attack of these complexes by hexacyanoferrate(III) in rate-determining step produces a radical species which is further oxidized in the subsequent step.
Molecular Hydrogen Complexes in Catalysis: Highly Efficient Hydrogen Production from Alcoholic Substrates catalysed by Ruthenium Complexes.
Morton, David Cole-Hamilton, David J.
The complex a range of different alcoholic substrates with rates corresponding to up to >1000 catalyst turnover h-1; the mechanism of the reaction is discussed and possible reasons for the high efficiency of this catalyst including the fact that loss of hydrogen occurs from a molecular hydrogen complex, are explored.
