Hydrogen oxidation, exchange

Some values for and (3 for electrochemical reactions of importance are given in table A2.4.6, and it can be seen that the exchange currents can be extremely dependent on the electrode material, particularly for more complex processes such as hydrogen oxidation. Many modem electrochemical studies are concerned with understanding the origin of tiiese differences in electrode perfomiance. 

In pyridazine, base-catalyzed hydrogen-deuterium exchange takes place at positions 4 and 5 more easily than at positions 3 or 6. Deuteration of pyridazine 1-oxide in NaOD/DiO... 

In pyridazin-3(2//)-one only the hydrogen at position 6 is replaced at 180 °C, while in 3-hydroxypyridazine 1-oxide the deuterium exchange takes place first at position 6 and then at position 4 at 140 °C. 5-Hydroxy- and 5-methoxy-pyridazine 1-oxide exchange only the hydrogen at position 6 at 150 °C.

If the preference for hydrogen ion exchange shown by lime-soda glasses can be reduced, then other cations will become involved in the ion exchange process and the possibility of an electrode responsive to metallic ions such as sodium and potassium exists. The required effect can be achieved by the introduction of aluminium oxide into the glass, and as shown in Table 15.2, this approach has led to new glass electrodes of great importance to the analyst. 

The first term was found to correspond to the rate of enolisation (measured by an NMR study of hydrogen-deuterium exchange at the methylene group). The second term predominates at [Cu(II)] > 10 M and is characterised by a primary kinetic isotope effect of 7.4 (25 °C) and a p value of 1.24. Addition of 2,2 -bipridyl (bipy) caused an increase in 2 up to a bipy Cu(II) ratio of 1 1 but at ratios greater than this 2 fell gradually until the enolisation term dominated. The oxidation of a-methoxyacetophenone is much slower but gives a similar rate... 

The catalytic activity in relation to a given reaction occurring on the surface is characterized by the rate g of this reaction, i.e., by the amount of reaction products formed under the given external conditions per unit time on unit surface area. An expression for g has different forms for different reactions. For the reactions of hydrogen-deuterium exchange, oxidation of CO, and synthesis of H2O2, this expression will be derived in Sections III, IV, and V, respectively. 

Thus, Kohn and Taylor (40) point out that the y irradiation of zinc oxide which speeds up the reaction of hydrogen-deuterium exchange lowers the magnitude of the effect when a donor impurity is introduced into the specimen. 

Freund (44) studied the influence of ultraviolet light on the catalytic activity of zinc oxide in relation to the reaction of hydrogen-deuterium exchange. The author noted that the photocatalytic effect was positive and that it decreased with rising temperature. 

The introduction of an impurity into a specimen (accompanied by a change in tv and es ) will transfer us from one point to another in Fig. 9. Suppose that when a donor impurity is introduced into the specimen (decrease in v and e8 ), we are transferred from the point A to the point B. This involves a decrease in K, as can be seen from Fig. 9. Such a decrease in the photocatalytic effect caused by the addition of donor impurities has been observed by Kohn and Taylor (40) who studied the photoreaction of hydrogen-deuterium exchange on zinc oxide exposed to y radiation. 

Let us now turn to a comparison of theory with experiment. Comparing (95), (84), and (68), we find that the dependence of the photocatalytic effect K on the position of the Fermi level at the surface s and in the bulk cv of an unexcited sample for the oxidation of water is the same as for the oxidation of CO or for the hydrogen-deuterium exchange reaction. For this reason, such factors as the introduction of impurities into a specimen, the adsorption of gases on the surface of the specimen, and the preliminary treatment of the specimen will exert the same influence on the photocatalytic effect in all the three reactions indicated above. The dependence of K on the intensity I of the exciting light must also be the same in all the three cases. 

Apart from the preparation of radiotracers, microwave-assisted transformations have also been utilized to carry out simple hydrogen-deuterium exchange reactions. In the case of acetophenone, for example, simple treatment with deuterium oxide as solvent in the presence of molecular sieves at 180 °C for 30 min led to complete... 

Masjedizadeh and coworkers have recently described similar microwave-promoted hydrogen-deuterium exchange reactions in a series of heterocydes using mixtures of deuterium oxide and deuteriomethanol (Scheme 6.173 b) [328], The rapid exchange method was applied to the deuteration of the anti-tumor antibiotic bleomycin A under catalyst-free conditions [328],...
