Abstract
The interaction of NO with [Fe(CN)(5)H(2)O](3)(-) (generated by aquation of the corresponding ammine complex) to produce [Fe(CN)(5)NO](3)(-) was studied by UV-vis spectrophotometry. The reaction product is the well characterized nitrosyl complex, described as a low-spin Fe(II) bound to the NO radical. The experiments were performed in the pH range 4-10, at different concentrations of NO, temperatures and pressures. The rate law was first-order in each of the reactants, with the specific complex-formation rate constant, k(f)( )()= 250 +/- 10 M(-)(1) s(-)(1) (25.4 degrees C, I = 0.1 M, pH 7.0), DeltaH(f)() = 70 +/- 1 kJ mol(-)(1), DeltaS(f)() = +34 +/- 4 J K(-)(1) mol(-)(1), and DeltaV(f)() = +17.4 +/- 0.3 cm(3) mol(-)(1). These values support a dissociative mechanism, with rate-controlling dissociation of coordinated water, and subsequent fast coordination of NO. The complex-formation process depends on pH, indicating that the initial product [Fe(CN)(5)NO](3)(-) is unstable, with a faster decomposition rate at lower pH. The decomposition process is associated with release of cyanide, further reaction of NO with [Fe(CN)(4)NO](2)(-), and formation of nitroprusside and other unknown products. The decomposition can be prevented by addition of free cyanide to the solutions, enabling a study of the dissociation process of NO from [Fe(CN)(5)NO](3)(-). Cyanide also acts as a scavenger for the [Fe(CN)(5)](3)(-) intermediate, giving [Fe(CN)(6)](4)(-) as a final product. From the first-order behavior, the dissociation rate constant was obtained as k(d) = (1.58 +/- 0.06) x 10(-)(5) s(-)(1) at 25.0 degrees C, I = 0.1 M, and pH 10.2. Activation parameters were found to be DeltaH(d)() = 106.4 +/- 0.8 kJ mol(-)(1), DeltaS(d)() = +20 +/- 2 J K(-)(1) mol(-)(1), and DeltaV(d)() = +7.1 +/- 0.2 cm(3) mol(-)(1), which are all in line with a dissociative mechanism. The low value of k(d) as compared to values for the release of other ligands L from [Fe(II)(CN)(5)L](n)()(-) suggests a moderate to strong sigma-pi interaction of NO with the iron(II) center. It is concluded that the release of NO from nitroprusside in biological media does not originate from [Fe(CN)(5)NO](3)(-) produced on reduction of nitroprusside but probably proceeds through the release of cyanide and further reactions of the [Fe(CN)(4)NO](2)(-) ion.Keywords
