Abstract
The rate of the reaction 2Rh(H2O)6 3 + + XeF2 = 2Rh(OH)3 + + Xe + 2HF + 4H+ + 6H2O is described by the second-order equation -d[Rh(III)]/dt = k 1[Rh(III)][XeF2], where k 1 = 15.4±0.8 l mol-1 min-1 at 17.8°C and the solution ionic strength μ = 2. The activation energy of the reaction is E 1 = 60.6±1.0 kJ mol-1. This reaction is complicated by the parallel hydrolysis reaction 2XeF2 + 2H2O = 2Xe + O2 + 4HF. The reaction mechanism includes a slow stage of H atom transfer from Rh(H2O)6 3+ to XeF2 molecule with formation of XeF. radical as an intermediate. The subsequent stages of Rh(H2O)5(OH)3+ hydrolysis and reduction of XeF· radical to Xe proceed rapidly.
