Abstract:Traces of iron, when complexed with either EDTA or diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA), catalyze an OH.-producing reaction between H2O2 and paraquat radical (PQ+.): H2O2 + PQ+.----PQ++ + OH. + OH-.1]. Kinetic studies show that oxidation of formate induced by this reaction occurs by a Fenton-type mechanism, analagous to that assumed in the metal-catalyzed Haber-Weiss reaction, in which the rate determining step is H2O2 + Fe2+ (chelator)----Fe3+(chelator) + OH. + OH-,7]; with k7 = 7 X 10(3) M-1 s-1 for EDTA and 8 X 10(2) M-1 s-1 for DTPA at pH 7.4. PQ+. rapidly reduces both Fe3+ (EDTA) and Fe3+ (DTPA), and hence allows both agents to catalyze 1] with comparable efficiency, in contrast to the much lower efficiency reported for the latter as a catalyst for the Haber-Weiss reaction. The catalytic properties of these chelating agents is attributed to their lowering of E0 (Fe3+/Fe2+) by 0.65 V, thus making 7] thermodynamically possible at pH 7. Approximately 2.5% of the OH. produced is consumed by internal or "cage" reactions, which decompose the chelator and produce CO2; however, the majority (97%) diffuses into the bulk solution and participates in competitive reactions with OH. scavengers.
