Abstract
In the present paper, the kinetics of interaction of dipeptide glycyl leucine (Gly-Leu) metal complex, [Cu(II)-Gly-Leu]+ with ninhydrin has been studied by following the reaction spectrophotometrically at 70ºC and a specific pH 5.0 in the absence and presence of conventional cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB). The order of the reaction with respect to [Cu(II)-Gly-Leu]+ was unity while concerning [ninhydrin] was fractional. Furthermore, the reaction constants involved in the mechanism were obtained and experimental results have been derived on the basis of the proposed mechanism. Quantitative kinetic analysis of kψ–[CTAB] data was explained in terms of pseudo-phase of the micelles.
