  ABSTRACT: The co-oxidation of a mixture of phenylsulfinylacetic acid (PSAA) and oxalic acid (OxH2) by Cr(VI) in 20% acetonitrile-80% water (v/v) medium follows third order kinetics, first order, each with respect to PSAA, OxH2 and Cr(VI). The reaction involves nucleophilic attack of sulfur atom of PSAA on chromium of the oxidizing species, Cr(VI)-OxH2 to form a ternary complex, Cr(VI)-OxH2-PSAA followed by a one-step three-electron reduction of Cr(VI) to Cr(III) and simultaneous oxidation of both the substrates. The reaction is catalysed by Mn2+ ion while retarded by Al3+ ion. Electron releasing substituents in the meta- and para-positions of the phenyl ring of PSAA enhance the rate of co-oxidation while electron withdrawing substituents retards the reaction. The Hammett plots at different temperatures exhibit excellent correlation with negative ρ values. The reaction series obey isokinetic relationship and the observed isokinetic temperature is lying below the experimental range of temperature.
