A COMPREHENSIVE KINETIC-STUDY ON INTERACTION OF COBALT(II) AND COPPER(II) WITH 1-METHYLGLYCOCYAMIDINE

The kinetics of the reaction between Co(II) and Cu(II) with 1-methyl glycocyamidine has been studied in the pH range 6.32-7.32 and 1.68-3.47 respectively, in 0.3 M KNO(s) and at 25, 30, 35 and 40+/-0.05-degrees by stopped-flow spectrophotometer. The experimental rate constants obtained, have been resolved into stepwise rate constants, and activation parameters corresponding to each pathway has been determined. The hydrolysed form of metal ion i.e. MOH+, was found to be more reactive than M2+ form.
