Abstract

Under the experimental conditions [DMSO]T ≫[CeIV]T ≫[Os]T the kinetics of oxidation of dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) to dimethylsulfone (DMSO2) have been followed at different temperatures (40–55°C) in 1.0 mol dm−3 sulfuric acid media. The rate of disappearance of [CeIV] shows a first-order dependence on both [Os]T and [DMSO]T and zeroth-order kinetics with respect to [CeIV]. The suggested mechanism involves oxidation of DMSO by OsVIII in a rate-determining step through an outer-sphere mechanism, followed by rapid regeneration of OsVIII by CeIV from OsVI. The rate law conforms to: −d[CeIV]/dt=k0=k[Os]T[DMSO]T. The values of k and the activation parameters are: 102k=(4.9 ± 0.10) mol−1 dm3 s−1 at 40°C, [H2SO4] =1.0 mol dm−3;ΔH‡=58±3kJmol−1, ΔS‡= −88 ±5JK−1mol−1.
