GUILLERMO LOPEZ-CUETO and CARLOS UBIDE. Can. J. Chem. 69, 21 12 (1991). The fast disproportionation of hexacyanomanganate(II1) in acidic medium yields Mn(CN)6'--and Mn(H20)6". The reaction has been studied by amperometry, with a rotating platinum-disk electrode, at a 1.0 V (vs. SCE) constant potential, in the acidity range 0.01-2.0 M and at temperatures between -5 and 15°C. A reversible one-electron process takes place with a 0.85 V (vs. SCE) half-wave potential that is not dependent on acidity. The reaction kinetics is pseudo-first order in s-' M-' , respectively. A mechanism is proposed where the three terms of kobs are assigned to pathways involving hexacyanomanganate(II1) in three different states of protonation. From the effect of temperature the activation parameters, AH# and AS#, for each pathway are also reported.
