Abstract
The oxidation of [CrIII(HNTA)(Hist)(H2O)]- and [CrIII(HNTA)(Asp)(H2O)]- (NTA = nitrilotriacetate, Hist = l-histidinate and Asp = dl-aspartate) by periodate in aqueous medium has been studied spectrophotometrically between 15.0 and 35.0 °C under pseudo-first-order conditions, [IO4 -] ≫ [complex]. The rate increases over the pH range 3.40-4.45 in both cases, but the two complexes give different rate laws. It is proposed that electron transfer proceeds through an inner-sphere mechanism via coordination of IO4 - to chromium(III). A common mechanism for the oxidation of some chromium(III) complexes by periodate is proposed, and this is supported by an excellent isokinetic relationship between ΔH*and ΔS*values for these reactions.
