Why is it important?

Kinetic work involves the study of relation between rates and concentrations, followed by derivation of a mechanism that satisfies the relation. The mechanism and the determined parameters add up to the existing knowledge base. The present work adds up the following to the existing knowledge base of the ever expanding field of kinetics:  Development of mechanism for each of the oxidation reactions based on the kinetic considerations.  Derivation of rate laws.  Determination of rate constants and other activation parameters in the rate determining steps for the studied oxidations.  Determination of equilibrium constants and other thermodynamic parameters for the reversible complex forming steps.
