Kinetic and mechanistic studies of the reactivity of iron(IV) TAMLs toward organic sulfides in water: resolving a fast catalysis versus slower single-turnover reactivity dilemma
摘要:
TAML complex [Fe-III{C6H4-1,2-(NCOCMe2NCO)(2)CMe2}OH2](-) (1) is oxidized by H2O2 or tBuOOH in water at pH < 10 into the corresponding iron(IV) mu-oxo-bridged dimer 2, which oxidizes readily ring-substituted thioanisoles p-XC6H4SMe (X=H, MeO, Me, Cl, CN) into the corresponding sulfoxides with regeneration of 1. The oxidation studied under pseudo-first-order conditions using the stopped-flow technique by monitoring the fading of the 420-nm band of 2 follows hyperbolic kinetics according to the rate law k(obs) = ab[p-XC6H4SMe]/(1 + b[p-XC6H4SMe]) at pH 8 and 25 degrees C. Parameters a, b, and ab all decrease for electron-poorer thioanisoles and the Hammett value. rho similar to 1 has been found for ab, which can be associated with the second-order rate constants for oxidation of thioanisoles by 2. The kinetics of oxidation of p-NO2C6H4SMe by H2O2 catalyzed by 1 has been studied under steady-state conditions. Covering the concentration of 1 in a 100-fold range has revealed that though first-order kinetics in 1 is observed at low catalyst concentrations (below 10(-6) M), there is a significant negative deviation from linearity at [1] > 10(-6) M. The latter was rationalized by the equilibrium between the monomeric and dimeric Fe-IV species 2 M reversible arrow M-M (K-d), both being able to oxidize p-NO2C6H4SMe with rate constants k(m) and k(d) which were found to be (13 +/- 1) x 10(4) and (0.32 +/- 0.01) x 10(4) M-1 s(-1), respectively. The difference in the rate constants is the key for resolving the dilemma of faster catalysis versus slower single-turnover reactivity of TAML activators in water.
