Abstract

The formation of an intermediate ruthenium(iii) thiolate complex by the interaction of thiols, RSH (R = glutathione and l-cysteine) and dichlorotetraaquaruthenium(iii), [RuIIICl2(H2O)4]+, is reported in the temperature range 25–40°C. The kinetics and mechanism of formation of the intermediate complex were studied as a function of [RuIIICl2(H2O)4]+, [RSH], pH, ionic strength and temperature. Reduction of the intermediate complex takes place slowly and results in the corresponding disulfides RSSR and [RuIICl2(H2O)4]+. The results are interpreted in terms of a mechanism involving a rate-determining inner-sphere one-electron transfer from RSH to the oxidant used in the present investigation and a comparison of rate and equilibrium constants is presented with activation parameters.
