要旨

The pressure dependence of the rate constant for the thermal isomerization of zinc dithizonate was measured at various temperatures in highly viscous solvents, i.e., glycerol triacetate and 2,4-dicyclohexyl-2-methylpentane, as well as in their chemically similar nonviscous solvents, such as methyl acetate and methylcyclohexane. In the nonviscous solvents, the reaction was slightly retarded upon external pressure suggesting the validity of the transition state theory. On the other hand, in the viscous solvents, the reaction, even at ambient pressure, was strongly retarded by an increase in external pressure suggesting the slow thermal fluctuation of the solvent molecules upon external pressure in highly viscous systems. This made it possible to observe the dynamic solvent effects on the isomerization of zinc dithizonate in viscous solvents. The viscosity dependence of the rate constants was rationalized by the two-dimensional reaction coordinate model.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
