One-electron oxidation of phenol, 2,4,6-trimethylphenol, and 2,6-dimethylphenol by IrCl(6) in aqueous solution has a simple pH dependence, indicating slow bimolecular oxidation of ArOH and faster oxidation of ArO(-). H/D kinetic isotope effects as large as 3.5 for oxidation of ArOH support concerted proton-coupled electron transfer with water as the proton acceptor.
在水溶液中,IrCl(6) 对苯酚、2,4,6-三甲基苯酚和 2,6-二甲基苯酚的单电子氧化具有简单的pH依赖性,这表明ArOH的双分子氧化较慢,而ArO(-) 的氧化较快。ArOH氧化时高达3.5的H/D动力学同位素效应支持以水作为质子受体的协同质子耦合电子转移。
