About the kinetics and mechanism of the reactions of 4-(2-pyridylazo)-resorcinol, with Zn2+, Cu2+ and Zn2++Cu2+ equimolar mixtures, in aqueous solutions

Sobre a cinética e o mecanismo das reações de 4-2(piridilazo)-resorcinol como Zn2+, Cu2+ e com misturas equimolares de Zn2+ + Cu2+, em solução aquosa

The kinetics and mechanism of the reactions between 4(2pyridylazo)-resorcinol and Zn2+, Cu2+ and Zn2++Cu2+ equimolar mixtures were studied. The reactions were performed in aqueous solution (pH = 8.5, borate buffer) and monitored spectrophotometrically at 500 nm using stopped-flow technique. Spectral and kinetic data indicate that the Zn2++Cu2+ equimolar mixture behaves as an unique species and it can be attributed to the interactions of Zn2+ and of Cu2+ with water molecules in the aqueous solution. A mechanism is proposed and the rate constants are calculated.
