The kinetics of the reaction between DBS with Fe(NN) 3 ] 3+ was followed spectrophotometrically by measuring the increase in absorbance of [Fe(NN) 3 ] 2+ with time. The article describes a detailed kinetic investigation on the oxidation of DBS by iron(III)polypyridyl complexes in the presence of CTAB, cationic micelle. The kinetics in miceller medium is governed by both electrostatic interactions and hydrophobic between micelles and reactants, transition states and product 1-4. The increase in rate with increase in [CTAB] demonstrates the importance of hydrophobic interactions in the binding of positively charged metal complexes to micelles.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
