The reaction of S(IV) with pyruvato(pentaammine)cobalt(III) has been s
tudied in the range of pH (3.2 - 6.5) and temperatures (15 - 30 degree
s C). There is no evidence of substitution of bound carboxylate by sul
phite. However, the keto form of the pyruvato complex reacts with HSO3
- and SO32- yielding the S(IV) addition product, (NH3)(5)CoO2CC(SO3)(O
H)CH3. The rate constants and activation parameters for both HSO3- (an
d SO)(2-)(3) reaction paths are reported. The pyruvato complex and als
o its sulphite addition product do not undergo reduction of cobalt(III
) centre by sulphite.
