Synthesis and Base Hydrolysis of the Pentaammine(dimethyl sulfide)cobalt(III) Ion
1992
The synthesis of the trifluoromethanesulfonate salt of the pentaarnmine (dimethy1 sulfide)-cobalt(III) ion, [NH3)5Co-S(CH3)2]3+, is described along with the kinetics of its hydrolysis in basic and acidic solutions. The synthesis proceeds in 44% yield from the reaction of [(NH3)5Co-OSO2CF3] (CF3SO3)2 with CH3SCH3 in tetramethylene sulfone at 80oC. The salt has been characterized by elemental analysis, visible-U.V. spectroscopy, and 1H n.m.r. In basic solution the complex decomposes by Co-S cleavage to yield [(NH3)5CO-OH]2+ and non-coordinated CH3SCH3. The kinetics of this reaction were studied in phosphate buffers ranging from pH 8.50 to 11.67 ( µ= 1.0 M); a linear dependence of the reaction rate on [OH-] was observed. At 25oC, kOH = 8.8 ± 0.2 dm3 mol-1 s-1. Activation parameters, determined over a temperature range from 15 to 44oC, were ΔH‡ = 152 ± 3 kJ mol-1 and Δ S‡ = 286 ± 9 J K-1 mol-1. In 0.01 M HClO4 ( µ = 1.0 M, 25oC), the cobaltsulfur bond is cleaved at a rate of 1.6×10-6 s-l. Activation parameters, determined over a temperature range from 25 to 60oC, were ΔH‡ = 106 ± 5 kJ mol-1 and ΔS‡= -2 ± 16 J K-1 mol-1.
