Abstract

The base hydrolysis of (αβS) (salicylato) (tetraethylenepentamine)cobalt(III) has been investigated in MeOH + water and DMSO + water media (0 –70% (v/v) cosolvents) at 20.0 □ t°C □ 35.0 and I = 0.10 mol dm-3 (ClO4-). The phenoxide species [(tetren)CoO2CC6H4O]+ undergoes both OH--independent and OH--catalyzed hydrolysis via SN1ICB and SN1CB mechanism, respectively. The OH-) -independent hydrolysis of the phenoxide species is catalyzed by both DMSO + water and MeOH + water media, the former exerting a much stronger rate accelerating effect than the latter. The OH--catalyzed reaction is strongly accelerated by DMSO + water medium but insensitive to the composition of MeOH + water medium up to 40% (v/v) MeOH beyond which it was not detectable under the experimental conditions. Data analysis has been attempted on the basis of the solvent stabilizing and destabilizing effects on the initial state and transition state of the concerned reactions. The nonlinear variation of the activation parameters, ΔH and ΔS, with solvent compositions presumably indicates that the solvent structural effects mediate the energetics of solvation of the initial state and transition state of the concerned reactions. The linearity in ΔH vs. ΔS plot accomodating all data for k1 and k2 paths in DMSO + water and MeOH + water further suggests that the solvent effects on these parameters are mutually compensatory.
