176-179Titanium (III) mediated electroreduction of dimethyl glyoxime has
been carried out in aqueous sulphuric acid medium and the reduction product has
been isolated and
characterised. The kinetic investigations have been carried out
under stoichiometric and non-stoichiometric conditions at 306K. It has been
found that the reaction follows overall second order kinetics, first order each
in [Ti(III)] and [DMG] and fractional order in sulphuric acid. The effect of varying
concentrations of Ti(III), DMG, H2SO4, ionic strength,
and solvent composition has been studied. Effect of temperature has also been
studied and activation parameters have been computed from Arrhenius and Eyring plots
