Abstract/Summary:
The oxidation kinetics and reaction time mechanisms of some small molecules, thiosulfate, sulfite, and dimethylamine, have been studied in reaction with several transition metal chelates. The rate data were tested for correlation with the Marcus theory for outer sphere electron transfer.;The reaction of thiosulfate with a series of (Os (LL);An analytical method to analyze the polythionates was developed using ion-pair chromatography with conductivity detection and tetraalkylammonium salts for separation. The technique was rapid and sensitive, Tri-, tetra-, and pentathionate were separated along with thiosulfate in less than 15 minutes with detection limits in the sub ppm range for most species.;The reaction of sulfite by (Ru (NH...
