In the solid state and in ethanol-acetone mixture, the salt reacts with molecular oxygen giving (PPh4)2[W(CN)4O(O2)]. The progress of the solid state reaction was followed by measuring infrared spectra. The integrated intensities of the W=O, O£¿O and C¡ÔN bands changed with time according to the pseudo first-order kinetics. In solution, the kinetic measurements indicate that the rate law is of the form -d[complex]/dt = k[complex][O2]. The k value is equal to 5.78 (¡À0.26) mol-1 dm3 s-1 at 298 K. The activation parameters, ¦¤H£¿(k) and ¦¤S£¿(k), are 55 (¡À3) kJ mol-1 and -46 (¡À8) J K-1 mol-1, respectively.
