Abstract

The kinetics of the Co (acac), and Co (EDTA)-oxidations of Cu (phen) 2+ have been investigated in both aqueous and micellar sodium dodecyl sulfate solution. Rate data indicate that the bis-chelated form of Cu (1) is the only reducing species in aqueous solution. The reaction rate is first order in both oxidant and reductant and reaches a limiting value at high phenanthroline concentrations. The following rate parameters have been obtained at ...
