On the kinetics and energetics of one-electron oxidation of 1,3,5-triazines

Abstract: One-electron oxidation of 1,3,5-triazines is observed with both excited uranyl ion (*UO2(2+)) and sulfate radical anion (SO4.-) in aqueous solution, but not with Tl2+, indicating that the standard reduction potentials E degree of 1,3,5-triazine radical cations are = 2.3 +/- 0.1 V vs. NHE, consistent with theoretical calculations; this suggests that if triazines inhibit electron transfer during photosynthesis, they would need to act on the reductive part of the electron transport chain.

“…31 However, the mechanism is unlikely in this case since triazines are known to have very high oxidation potentials. 32 Furthermore, homolytic dissociation is unlikely to be an important mechanism in the case of triazines, since 2-hydroxy products are observed on photolysis of a wide variety of 1,3,5-triazines having very different dissociation energies for the 2-substituent bonds. 21,33 We therefore believe that the main mechanism involves additionelimination.…”

“…A possible alternative is direct photodegradation, for which a number of studies on photoproducts have been performed, but little mechanistic information is available. [23][24][25][26][27] Proper modeling of the environmental fate of these agrochemicals will be difficult unless detailed mechanistic understanding becomes available. Indeed, a comprehensive study of the photodegradation process must involve proper knowledge of the nature and role of their different low-lying excited states.…”

“…1,3,5-Triazine ( s -triazine) has been widely used in organic reactions 16 and offers access to a multitude of useful molecules 7,8 due to its specific structure and electronic properties. This scaffold has provided the basis for the design of biologically active molecules with diverse therapeutic profiles, 913 herbicides, 14,15 and polymer photostabilizers. 16 Some trisubstituted-1,3,5-triazines are also used as liposomes.…”
