Abstract:The kinetics of oxidation of N,N-bis(salicylaldehyde-1,2-diaminoethane) cobalt(II) complex by N-bromosuccinimide (NBS) in aqueous acid and H 2 O-MeOH solvent mixtures were studied spectrophotometrically over the 20-40°C range, 0.1-0.5 mol dm -3 ionic strength, 2.2-2.8 pH range and 0-40 wt% MeOH-H 2 O solvent mixtures for a range of NBS and complex concentrations. The rate shows first-order dependence on both [NBS] and [complex] and decreases with pH over the range studied. The protonated form of N-bromosucc… Show more
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.
