Abstract
The aquation of bromopentaamminecobalt(III) ion in the presence of ion-pairing malonate anion in mixed solvent media of water with tert -butanol (10%-50%) v/v have been investigated spectrophotometrically at different temperatures (30-60 o C). Nonlinear plots of Log (k ip ) ion-pair rate constants against the reciprocal of the dielectric constant D, Log of water concentration and Grunwald-Winstein Y values were found. The thermodynamic and extrathermodynamic analyses of the kinetic data have been discussed in terms of solvent effect on the ion-pair aquation reactions. The obtained isokinetic temperatures of these systems indicate the existence of compensation effect arising from solute-solvent interaction. The extrema found in the change of ∆H ip * and ∆S ip * with the mole fraction of the co-solvent can be attributed to the change of the physical properties of the solvent-water mixture with the solvent structure. Application of a free energy cycle is performed to compare between the stability of the initial and the transition state of the complex. However, small changes in ∆G ip * with the mole fraction of the co-solvent was found, indicating a compensating effects between ∆H ip * and ∆S ip *
