K. Nakajima et al., CHIRAL RECOGNITION IN THE ELECTRON-TRANSFER REACTION BETWEEN OPTICALLY-ACTIVE SCHIFF-BASE-OXOVANADIUM(IV) AND SCHIFF-BASE-OXOVANADIUM(V) COMPLEXES, Chemistry Letters, (11), 1995, pp. 1017-1018
The kinetics of the electron-transfer reaction between [VO{3-MeOsal-(R
R) or (SS)-chxn}] and [VO{sal-(RR)-chxn}](+) were studied using the st
opped flow method in acetonitrile over the temperature range of 5 - 25
degrees C. The reactions were enantioselective. The ratio of the rate
constant of the electron-transfer between [VO{3-MeOsal-(SS)-chxn}] an
d [VO{sal-(RR)-chxn}](+) (k(SS-RR)) and that between [VO{3-MeOsal-(RR)
-chxn}] and [VO{sal-(RR)-chxn}](+) (k(RR-RR)) was 2.0 (k(SS-RR)/k(RR-R
R)) at 25 degrees C.
