Abstract

The reduction of molecular oxygen (O2) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) by [RuII(edta)(pz)]2−(edta4−= ethylenediaminetetraacetate; pz = pyrazine) has been studied spectrophotometrically and kinetically in aqueous solution. Exposure of the aqua-analogue [RuII(edta)(H2O)]2−to O2and H2O2resulted in the formation of [RuIII(edta)(H2O)]species, with subsequent formation of the corresponding RuVO complex. A working mechanism for the O2and H2O2reduction reactions mediated by the RuII(edta) complexes is proposed. The role of the coordinated water molecule (by its absence or presence in the primary coordination sphere) in controlling the mechanistic pathways, outer-sphere or inner-sphere, is discussed.
