Abstract
micellar effect % Hammett correlation % Piszkiewicz cooperative model KR nema The influence of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide, CTon the oxidative decarboxylation of phenylsulfinylacetic acid, PSAA and several meta- and para-substituted PSAAs by Cr(VI) was investigated in 95 % H2O-5 % CH3CN medium. The rate profile displayed a peculiar trend with an initial rate increase at low [CTAB] followed by sharp rate inhibition at higher [CTAB]. The initial rate acceleration can be explained by strong binding of SO42- on the positively charged micellar surface. The specific partitioning of PSAA in micellar phase by hydrophobic interaction and the oxidizing species, HCrO3+ in aqueous phase by electrostatic repulsion accounted the rate retardation at higher [CTAB]. The Hammett plot with different substituted PSAAs showed an excellent correlation affording negative ? value which supports the proposed mechanism involving a sulfonium cation intermediate formation. The obtained ? value in CTmedium is found to be slightly lower than that in aqueous medium. The quantitative analysis of rate data for the inhibition shown by CTwas performed using Menger-Portnoy and Piszkiewicz pseudo-phase models. The binding constant for PSAA with micelle was evaluated from Piszkiewicz cooperative model.
