As a result the research emphasis in this field focused on efforts to design experiments in which it might be possible to determine to which one of the foregoing three rate equations the observed second-order rate coefficient actually corresponded. More specifically, the objective was to observe one and the same system first under conditions in which complex decomposition (fcp) was rate-determining and then under conditions in which complex formation (kF) was ratedetermining. A system in which either formation or decomposition was subject to some form of catalysis was thus indicated. In displacements with primary and secondary amines the transformation of reactants to products necessarily involves the transfer of a proton at some stage of the reaction. Such reactions are potential-... 

Information about the kinetics of interconversion of the species in Scheme 12 has been obtained (Smith et al., 1981). The values of the rate coefficients for external protonation of ii to give io+ and o+o+ are probably close to the diffusion-controlled limit. However, the rate of internal monoprotonation of ii to ii+ is quite low and the reaction can be followed by observing the change in nmr signals with time. At pH 1 and 25°C the half-life is 7 min. Under these conditions, insertion of the second proton into the cavity takes several weeks to reach completion, but can be observed in convenient times at higher... 

Upon comparison of eq 32 to 28, it is seen that the proton—water interaction is now taken into account. This interaction is usually not too significant, but it should be taken into account when there is a large gradient in the water (e.g., low humidity or high-current-density conditions). Upon comparison of eq 33 to 31, it is seen that the equations are basically identical where the concentration and diffusion coefficient of water have been substituted for the chemical potential and transport coefficient of water, respectively. Almost all of the models using the above equations make similar substitutions for these variables 15,24,61,62,128... 

The values of the rate coefficients in Table 10 approach that expected for a diffusion-controlled reaction (cf. k = 3.4 x 109 mol-1 s-1 dm3 for 3,5,N,N-tetramethylaniline). However, it is worth noting that most of these results refer to hydrogen-ion concentrations >0.5 mol dm 3 and that the basicity of the amines is such that protonation probably occurs on encounter. Thus, the half-life of the free amine is likely to be <10-10 s and, under these conditions, the...
