Abstract
Absolute rate constants for reaction of .SO/sub 4//sup -/ with substituted benzenes and benzoates have been determined by pulse radiolysis. The values are found to range from about 5 x 10/sup 9/ M/sup -1/ s/sup -1/ for anisole to less than 10/sup 6/ M/sup -1/ s/sup -1/ for nitrobenzene. A correlation of the rate constants with the Hammett substituent constant sigma gave rho = -2.4 for both series of compounds. It is concluded that the reaction takes place by an electron transfer from the ring to .SO/sub 4//sup -/.
