Copper Catalysis of the Oxidation of Iodide by [FeIII(bpy)2(CN)2]+ in Acetonitrile

Abstract: Because of its potential relevance to the Gra ¨tzel photoelectrochemical cell, we have investigated the oxidation of iodide by [Fe(bpy) 2 (CN) 2 ] + in acetonitrile solution at 25 °C. The reaction occurs on the stopped-flow time scale and is highly sensitive to catalysis by Cu 2+ , to the degree that, under typical conditions, the impurity levels of Cu 2+ are sufficient to dominate the reaction. 2,2′-Bipyridine is a very effective inhibitor of the Cu 2+ catalysis, and 1 µM Cu 2+ can accelerate the rates by as … Show more

“…The oxidation of the iodide ion and its mechanism under different experimental conditions has been of interest for years due to its applications especially in energy production and solar cells. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] A number of studies explored the mechanism of the oxidation of the iodide ion by various transition metal complexes that can be used to enhance the efficiency of the dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). The applications of transition metal complexes based upon ruthenium, cobalt, copper, nickel, and iron metals have been surfaced as sensitizers in DSSCs.…”

“…At this stage the electron is transferred to ferricyanide giving rise to reduced ferrocyanide along with production of HI 2 AE ion, which in the slow step gives rise to I 2 )AE . Production of I 2 )AE ion in aqueous [22,23] and in acetonitrile medium [24,25] has already been reported. Alternatively [26,27] hydrogen ion with iodide ion may give rise to HI 2 ) in the first step, which may react with Fe III giving rise to reduced Fe II and HI 2 AE .…”

“…However, due to the instability of this oxidant in solution, related oxidants like [Fe III (bpy) 2 (CN)] + have been shown to be highly effective as sensitizers in photochemical cells of the Gra¨tzel type [21][22][23]. Recently oxidation of iodide ions by various iron(III) complexes in acetonitrile has been reported and it has been shown that trace levels of copper ions are the potent catalysts for the reaction [24,25]. We have already reported first order kinetics with respect to [Fe(CN) 6 ] 3) and [H + ] ions and second order w.r.t.…”

Oxidation of iodide ion by (loxo) diiron (III, III) complexes in weakly acidic medium [27] and by various iron(III) complexes in acetonitrile has been reported and it has been shown that trace levels of copper ions are the potent catalysts for the reaction [28,29]. Oxidation of iodide ions by hexacyanoferrate(III) has already been reported by us in which first order kinetics with respect to [K 3 Fe(CN) 6 ] and [H + ] ions and second order with respect to [I ) ] was observed, when the reaction is catalyzed by palladium(II) in hydrochloric acid [30] and ruthenium(III) in sulphuric acid medium [31].…”
