Kinetic investigation on Effects of Cobalt ion on alkaline dissociation of Tris(1,10- Phenanthroline) iron (II) in SDS micellar media

Abstract

Many metal ions have been found to exert electrophilic effects on the dissociation of complexes and it has been proposed that a ternary intermediate is formed involving the complex and metal ion through the severing of one of the metal ligand bonds.To investigate this aspect, the dissociation of Fe(phen)₃²⁺ and effects of metal ion like Co²⁺ in the presence of SDS micelles providing anionic micellar surface. These results confirm that the formation of such a ternary intermediate and marked micellar catalysis of the reaction.
