(where HL 1 ϭ 15-amino-3-methyl-4,7,10,13-tetraazapentadec-3-en-2-one oxime) were carried out over the regions pH 3.0 -5.75, 2.80 -5.50, and 2.50 -7.58, respectively, at constant ionic strength and temperature 40ЊC. All the reactions are overall second-order with first-order on both the oxidant and reductant. A general rate law is given as], where k d is the auto-decomposition rate constant of the complex, k s is the electron transfer rate constant, n is the stoichiometric factor, and R is either formate, oxalate, or malonate. The reactivity of all the reacting species of the reductants in solution were evaluated choosing suitable pH regions. The reactivity orders are:for the oxidation of formate, oxalate, and malonate, respectively, and these trends were explained considering the effect of hydrogen bonded adduct formation and thermodynamic potential.
