Abstract

The reduction of ClO(2) to ClO(2)(-) by aqueous iron(II) in 0.5 M HClO(4) proceeds by both outer-sphere (86%) and inner-sphere (14%) electron-transfer pathways. The second-order rate constant for the outer-sphere reaction is 1.3 x 10(6) M(-1) s(-1). The inner-sphere electron-transfer reaction takes place via the formation of FeClO(2)(2+) that is observed as an intermediate. The rate constant for the inner-sphere path (2.0 x 10(5) M(-1) s(-1)) is controlled by ClO(2) substitution of a coordinated water to give an inner-sphere complex between ClO(2) and Fe(II) that very rapidly transfers an electron to give (Fe(III)(ClO(2)(-))(H(2)O)(5)(2+))(IS). The composite activation parameters for the ClO(2)/Fe(aq)(2+) reaction (inner-sphere + outer-sphere) are the following: DeltaH(r)++ = 40 kJ mol(-1); DeltaS(r)++ = 1.7 J mol(-1) K(-1). The Fe(III)ClO(2)(2+) inner-sphere complex dissociates to give Fe(aq)(3+) and ClO(2)(-) (39.3 s(-1)). The activation parameters for the dissociation of this complex are the following: DeltaH(d)++= 76 kJ mol(-1); DeltaS(d)++= 32 J K(-1) mol(-1). The reaction of Fe(aq)(2+) with ClO(2)(-) is first order in each species with a second-order rate constant of k(ClO2)- = 2.0 x 10(3) M(-1) s(-1) that is five times larger than the rate constant for the Fe(aq)(2+) reaction with HClO(2) in H(2)SO(4) medium ([H(+)] = 0.01-0.13 M). The composite activation parameters for the Fe(aq)(2+)/Cl(III) reaction in H(2)SO(4) are DeltaH(Cl(III))++ = 41 kJ mol(-1) and DeltaS(Cl(III))++ = 48 J mol(-1) K(-1).
