Abstract
IrCl3which is considered to be a sluggish catalyst in alkaline media, was found to surpass the catalytic efficiency of even osmium and ruthenium in acidic media in the oxidation of cyclopentanone and 2-methylcyclohexanone by cerium(IV) sulphate in aqueous sulphuric acid medium. It was observed that the order of the reaction shows direct proportionality with respect to low concentrations of the oxidant and alcohols, but tends to become independent of concentration at higher concentrations. On increasing the concentrations of externally added Cl-, H+ and CeIIIions, the rate of the reaction decreases sharply initially but the decrease in rate becomes less prominent as their concentration is increased. The rate of reaction is directly proportional with respect to IrCl3concentrations. Kinetic data suggest that the production of CeIII ion occurs before the rate-determining step. Parameters such as the energy of activation, free energy of activation and entropy data collected at five different temperatures suggest that cyclopentanone forms the activated complex more easily.
