Abstract
Fe(III) is present in alcoholic drinks, such as wine and beer, and it is well known that this metal ion may affect beer fermentation, stability and quality. From a study of the complexation of 2-acetyl-1,3-cyclohexanedione with Fe(III)in aqueous solution, thermodynamic and kinetic parameters were obtained. Kinetics and equilibria in aqueous 1:1 chelation were investigated spectrophotometrically in aqueous solution at 25 °C and ionic strength of 0.5 mol dm −3 NaClO 4. The mechanism proposed to account for the kinetic data involves a double reversible pathway, where both Fe 3+ and Fe(OH) 2+ react with the enol tautomer of the ligand. Some comparative analyses with the homologous iron(III) 2-acetylcyclohexanonate were established and the effect of previously cited changes during beer ageing considered.
