Abstract

In aqueous acid solutions, the complex [Ag(H2L)]3+(H2L = ethylenebis(biguanide)] quantitatively oxidises ethanol, isopropyl alcohol, and benzyl alcohol to the corresponding carbonyl products at moderate rate. The experimental rate law is -d[complex]/dt=(k1+k2/[H+])[alcohol][complex]. At 40 ° C and /= 1.0 mol dm-3, 105k1, (dm-3 mol-1 s-1) and 106k2(s-1) values are: EtOH, 4.2 ± 0.3 and 2.8 ± 0.1; PriOH, 7.5 ± 0.5 and 4.8 ± 0.2; PhCH2OH, 95 ± 6 and 32.5 ± 2 respectively. The upper limit for the rate of reaction of [Ag(H2L)]3+ with methanol, t-butyl alcohol, ethylene glycol, and glycerol is the rate of autodecomposition of [Ag(H2L)]3+ and is less than 10% of the rate of oxidation of EtOH, PriOH, or PhCH2OH. Deprotonation of the alcohols assisted by axial co-ordination to [Ag(H2L)]3+ is suggested as a source of the inverse acid dependence. The whole reaction course is e.s.r. silent and a rate-determining C-H bond cleavage in the -CHOH group appears reasonable. Compared to other metal-ion oxidants, [Ag(H2L)]3+ appears to be the most selective reagent for PhCH2OH.
