Nonenzymatic NADH-Dependent Reduction of Keggin-Type 12-Tungstocobaltate(III) in Aqueous Medium

The kinetics of the electron transfer reaction of NADH with 12-tungstocobaltate(III) has been studied over the range 5.07 ≤ 104 [NADH] ≤ 15.22 mol dm-3, 7.0 ≤ pH ≤ 8.0 and 20 ≤ t ≤ 35 oC in aqueous medium. The electron transfer reaction showed first-order dependence each in [NADH]T and [12-tungstocobaltate(III)]T. The products of the reaction were found to be NAD
