Abstract

The oxidation of the NiII(NH3)n complex by NH2 radicals in aqueous solutions yields an unstable trivalent nickel complex. The specific rate of this reaction is 1 X 107 M~l sec-1. The absorption spectrum of the trivalent complex was measured. The mechanism of disappearance of the trivalent complex is via a second-order reaction with 2k < 3.5 X 107 M~l sec-1. The specific rate of the reaction OH + NH3åNH2 + H2O at pH 11.3 is 2.4 X 107 M-1 sec-1. The specific rate of oxidation of hydrazine by the trivalent nickel complex is 4 X 106 M-l sec-1.
