Outer-sphere electron transfer reactions of aqua(5,5,7,12,12,14-hexamethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane-1-acetato) nickel(II) and (III)

Features a study that examined the kinetics of oxidation of the nickel (II) tetraazamacrocyclic complex, 5,5,7,12,12,14-hexa-methyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane-1-acetate, which bears one pendant acetato group to the nickel (III) state. Discussion on the use of the resulting nickel (III) macrocycle as a potential inner-sphere oxidant in relation to its reaction with hexaaquairon (II); Electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy and electrochemistry; Results and discussion.; Features a study that examined the kinetics of oxidation of the nickel (II) tetraazamacrocyclic complex, 5,5,7,12,12,14-hexa-methyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane-1-acetate, which bears one pendant acetato group to the nickel (III) state.
