Interaction of Sodium, Lithium, Caesium, and Potassium Ions with Ascorbyl Radicals

Abstract: The influence of the concentration of sodium, lithium , caesium, and potassium ions as well as of the ionic strength of the solutions used on the dismutation rate of ascorbyl radicals has been investigated. While the dismutation rate was not influenced by Li+, it decreased, however, with increasing concentrations of the other ions investigated. The largest effect was obtained with Na+. This change in dismutation rate indicates a stabilizing effect on ascorbyl radical by these ions.

“…This was considered somewhat surprising because, while radical reactions can be sensitive to the polarity of the medium (8), hydrogen atom abstractions are insensitive (9) presumably due to a lack of charge buildup in the reactions' transition states. Recently, however, Clark (10) used gas-phase ab initio calculations to support the feasibility of a proposed mechanism in which complexation with alkali metal ions along the reaction coordinate catalyzed hydrogen atom abstractions by HOO*; some experimental support of these calculations has appeared (11,12). Ample justification thus existed to support the further exploration of possible catalytic effects of alkali metals on HOO*-dependent reactions in solution, especially since alkali metals (particularly Na+ and K+) are present ubiquitously in biological systems (13).…”
