Hydrophobicity, reactivity trends of base catalyzed hydrolysis of some novel high spin Fe(II) Schiff base amino acid chelates in some binary aqueous solvent mixtures: Initial-transition state analysis
Rate constants for the base hydrolysis of bis(naphthylidene alanate)iron (II) (nali), bis (naphthylidene phenylalanate)iron(II) (nphali), bis(naphthylidene aspartate)iron(II) (nasi) (naphthylidene histidinate)iron(II) (nhi), bis(naphthylidene arginate)iron(II) (nari) have been reported in different binary aqueous solvent mixtures at 298 K. The observed reactivity trends are discussed in terms of the hydrophilic and hydrophobic forms of the complexes investigated, as well as the transfer chemical ... Read more
