Kinetics and mechanism of the reactions of the superoxide ion in solutions. II. The kinetics of protonation of the superoxide ion by water and ethanol

Abstract: The rate constants for the protonation of "free" (that is, solvated) superoxide ions by water and ethanol are equal to 0.5-3.5 X lO-~M-l.s-' in DMF and AN at 20'. It has been found that the protonation rates for the ion pairs of 0; with the BudN+ cation are much slower than those for "free" 0,. It is suggested that the effects of aprotic solvents on the protonation rates of 0; are mainly due to the fact that the proton donors form solvated complexes of different stability in these solvents.

“…Therefore, the different solvations of O 2 •– and H 2 O in AcN, DMSO, and DMF can reasonably elucidate the solvent dependence of the O 2 •– protonation rate: AcN > DMF > DMSO. This is in accordance with the results of a previous study that proposed O 2 •– protonation by H 2 O or ethanol in AcN and DMF.…”

“…The correct calculation yields k 38 = 1.44×10 −1 L mol −1 s −1 at 21 °C and 1.94×10 −2 L mol −1 s −1 at 4 °C. Although never measured in water, the rate constant k 38 has been measured in dimethyl formamide and in acetonitrile for solutions which contained up to 0.6 mol L −1 H 2 O [ 13 , 14 ]. The values reported for k 38 in these solvents ranged from 0.5×10 −3 L mol −1 s −1 to 3.5×10 −3 L mol −1 s −1 with an indication in one report [ 14 ] that the value might increase with increase in water concentration.…”

“…We speculate that the electrochemical reduction of O 2 to O 2 ˙ − is followed by a chemical protonation step to generate other ROS such as a hydroperoxyl radical (HO 2 ˙), 43 which is susceptible to heterolytic and homolytic cleavages and eventually converges on H 2 O 2 . 44–46 Whether the conversion of HO 2 ˙ to H 2 O 2 proceeds electrochemically or chemically should be dependent on the proton donor concentration in solution and the reduction potential applied. 46 Once the hydroperoxide species is formed, CH 3 OH formation proceeds from its reaction with Rh III –CH 3 .…”
