    Abstract By studying the Free Energy of Activation, ΔG≠, of various geochemical transformations we have revealed the importance of the contribution of the entropy of activation, ΔS≠, in the energetics of the processes. In studies performed so far including changes of phases, adsorption, desorption, formation or breaking of bonds, ordering of ions, etc. only the activation energy was considered as the main factor determining the rate of the transformation process through the Arrhenius equation. The above changes result in change of degrees of freedom of the systems. If the above changes happen during the “reactants to transition state or activated complex” step, they result in changes of the entropy of activation. Through the use of the Eyring–Polanyi equation and literature data we were able to determine ΔG≠=ΔH≠−TΔS≠ where ΔH≠ is related to Eₐcₜ=RT+ΔΗ≠ and ΔS≠ is related to A of the Arrhenius equation. It was found that the combination of enthalpy and entropy of activation in ΔG≠ gives a more realistic/true value of the energy requirements of the activation step that the processes need in order to take place. Also, an explanation is given of why calculated activation energy values (that are related only to enthalpy of activation values) for certain transformations deviate from the expected and observed energy requirements that characterize the processes when the entropic component is substantial. This analysis shows that similar processes have similar ΔG≠ values and therefore there is a way of foreseeing the ΔG≠ of a process, if a number of similar processes have been studied and their ΔG≠ values have been calculated.

    Abstract The reactions of 2,4- and 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acids (dihydroxybenzoic acid, DHBA) with chromium(III) in weak acidic aqueous solutions have been shown to take place in at least two stages. The first stage of the reactions has an observed rate constant k1(obs)=k1[DHBA]+C and the corresponding activation parameters are ΔH1(2,4)≠=49,5 kJ/mol−1, ΔS1(2,4)≠=−103,7 J mol−1 K−1, ΔH1(2,5)≠=60,3 kJ/mol−1, and ΔS1(2,5)≠=−68,0 J mol−1 K−1. These are composite activation parameters and the breaking of the strong intramolecular hydrogen bonding in the two ligands is suggested to be the first step of the (composite) first stage of the reactions. The second stage is ligand concentration independent and is thus attributed to a chelation process. The corresponding activation parameters are ΔH2(2,4)≠=45,13 kJ/mol−1, ΔS2(2,4)≠=−185,9 J mol−1 K−1, ΔH2(2,5)≠=54,55 kJ/mol−1, and ΔS2(2,5)≠=−154,8 J mol−1 K−1. The activation parameters support an associative mechanism for the second stage of the reactions. The various substitution processes are accompanied by proton release, resulting in pH decrease.

    Abstract The reactions of 2,4- and 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acids (dihydroxybenzoic acid, DHBA) with chromium(III) in weak acidic aqueous solutions have been shown to take place in at least two stages. The first stage of the reactions has an observed rate constant k(1(obs)) = k(1)[DHBA] + C and the corresponding activation parameters are DeltaH(1(2,4)) ( not equal) = 49, 5 kJ/mol(-1), DeltaS(1(2,4)) ( not equal) = -103, 7 J mol(-1) K(-1), DeltaH(1(2,5)) ( not equal) = 60, 3 kJ/mol(-1), and DeltaS(1(2,5)) ( not equal) = -68, 0 J mol(-1) K(-1). These are composite activation parameters and the breaking of the strong intramolecular hydrogen bonding in the two ligands is suggested to be the first step of the (composite) first stage of the reactions. The second stage is ligand concentration independent and is thus attributed to a chelation process. The corresponding activation parameters are DeltaH(2(2,4)) ( not equal) = 45, 13 kJ/mol(-1), DeltaS(2(2,4)) ( not equal) = -185, 9 J mol(-1) K(-1), DeltaH(2(2,5)) ( not equal) = 54, 55 kJ/mol(-1), and DeltaS(2(2,5)) ( not equal) = -154, 8 J mol(-1) K(-1).

    Abstract: Earlier kinetic studies on the protonation of the coordinated thiolate in the square-planar [Ni(SC6H4R'-4)(triphos)](+) (R' = NO2, Cl, H, Me or MeO) by lutH(+) (lut = 2,6-dimethylpyridine) indicate a two-step mechanism involving initial formation of a ( ... ...

    Abstract Earlier kinetic studies on the protonation of the coordinated thiolate in the square-planar [Ni(SC6H4R'-4)(triphos)](+) (R' = NO2, Cl, H, Me or MeO) by lutH(+) (lut = 2,6-dimethylpyridine) indicate a two-step mechanism involving initial formation of a (kinetically detectable) precursor intermediate, {[Ni(SC6H4R'-4)(triphos)]···Hlut}(2+) (K(R)1), followed by an intramolecular proton transfer step (k(R)2). The analogous [Ni(SR)(triphos)]BPh4 {R = Et, Bu(t) or Cy; triphos = PhP(CH2CH2PPh2)2} have been prepared and characterized by spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography. Similar to the aryl thiolate complexes, [Ni(SR)(triphos)](+) are protonated by lutH(+) in an equilibrium reaction but the observed rate law is simpler. Analysis of the kinetic data for both [Ni(SR)(triphos)](+) and [Ni(SC6H4R'-4)(triphos)](+) shows that both react by the same mechanism, but that K(R)1 is largest when the thiolate is poorly basic, or the 4-R' substituent in the aryl thiolates is electron-withdrawing. These results indicate that it is both NH···S hydrogen bonding and encapsulation of the bound lutH(+) (by the phenyl groups on triphos) which stabilize the precursor intermediate.

    Abstract The reaction between chromium(III) and 2,3-dihydroxybenzoic acid (2,3-DHBA) takes place in at least three stages, involving various intermediates. The ligand (2,3-DHBA)-to-chromium(III) ratio in the final product of the reaction is 1 : 1. The first stage is suggested to be the reaction of [Cr(H(2)O)(5)(OH)](2+) with the ligand in weak acidic aqueous solutions that follows an I(d) mechanism. The second and third stages do not depend on the concentrations of chromium(III), and their activation parameters are DeltaH( not equal) (2(obs)) = 61.2 +/- 3.1 kJmol(-1), DeltaS( not equal) (2(obs)) = -91.1 +/- 11.0 JK(-1)mol(-1), DeltaH( not equal) (3(obs)) = 124.5 +/- 8.7 kJmol(-1), and DeltaS( not equal) (3(obs)) = 95.1 +/- 29.0 JK(-1)mol(-1). These two stages are proposed to proceed via associative mechanisms. The positive value of DeltaS( not equal) (3(obs)) can be explained by the opening of a four-membered ring (positive entropy change) and the breaking of a hydrogen bond (positive entropy change) at the associative step of the replacement of the carboxyl group by the hydroxyl group at the chromium(III) center (negative entropy change in associative mechanisms). The reactions are accompanied by proton release, as shown by the pH decrease.

    Abstract The reaction between chromium(III) and 2,3-dihydroxybenzoic acid (2,3-DHBA) takes place in at least three stages, involving various intermediates. The ligand (2,3-DHBA)-to-chromium(III) ratio in the final product of the reaction is 1 : 1. The first stage is suggested to be the reaction of [Cr(H2O)5(OH)]2+ with the ligand in weak acidic aqueous solutions that follows an Id mechanism. The second and third stages do not depend on the concentrations of chromium(III), and their activation parameters are ΔH≠=61.2±3.1 kJmol−1, ΔS≠=−91.1±11.0 JK−1mol−1, ΔH≠=124.5±8.7 kJmol−1, and ΔS≠=95.1±29.0 JK−1mol−1. These two stages are proposed to proceed via associative mechanisms. The positive value of ΔS≠ can be explained by the opening of a four-membered ring (positive entropy change) and the breaking of a hydrogen bond (positive entropy change) at the associative step of the replacement of the carboxyl group by the hydroxyl group at the chromium(III) center (negative entropy change in associative mechanisms).
