Download or read book Kinetics and Mechanisms of the Oxidation of Alcohols and Hydroxylamines by Hydrogen Peroxide, Catalyzed by Methyltrioxorhenium, MTO, and Oxygen Binding Properties of Cobalt Schiff Base Complexes written by Timothy Harlan Zauche and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This mechanism is supported by isotopic and steric effects. Co-catalytic systems were explored for the oxidation of alcohols using sodium bromide or oxoammonium ions with the H202/MTO system. The molecular oxygen binding rate constant for a variety of Co(II)salen derivatives was explored. The rate constant was determined using flash photolysis to dissociate oxygen from the pre-made CO(III)-02· complex. A new twist to the rate constant determination of these reactions was also explored where in flash photolysis severs a cobalt-carbon bond of a Co(Ill)-alkyl complex, producing the CO(III) complex in the presence Of 02 and a radical scavenger.
