Abstract:The kinetics and mechanism of oxidation of iminodiacetic acid and N-methyliminodiacetic acid by aquasilver(I1) and Ag(II)-2,2'-bipyridine complexes has been investigated. The results are discussed with reference to the active reaction pathways, the equilibrium quotient of the title reactions, the protolytic equilibria which involve the oxidizing complex, and the intrinsic self-exchange rates of the oxidants.
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.
