Abstract

The synthesis and physicochemical properties (UV-vis, IR, EPR, cyclic voltammetry) of the complex K5[RuIII-(edta)(NC)FeII(CN)5] (2) are described. Complex 2 shows an intervalence absorption maximum (Eop) at 940 nm in H2O (at room temperature), and the position of the absorption maximum shifts with change in temperature (20-60°C). The kinetics of the formation of complex 2 was studied spectrometrically by stopped-flow technique. The rate of formation of complex 2 was found to be first-order with respect to both ru(edta)(H20)- and Fe(CN)4-6 concentrations and highly dependent on the ionic strength of the reaction medium. Rate and activation parameters (ΔH* and ΔS*) calculated for tis reaction are in consistent with the proposed associative mechanism. intervalence thermochromism for this ground-state mixed-valence complex 2 is discussed with reference to the data reported for the similar [RuIII(NH3)5(NC)FeII(CN)5]- complex.
