Sk. Mohapatra, KINETICS OF OXIDATION OF BISULFITE ION BY IRON (III) IN THE PRESENCE OF 1,10-PHENAN-THROLINE, Indian journal of chemistry. Sect. A: Inorganic, physical, theoretical & analytical, 32(8), 1993, pp. 709-710
The title reaction has been investigated under pseudo-unimolecular con
ditions with [phen]>[HSO3-]>[Fe(III)]. The reaction obeys first order
kinetics in [Fe(III)]. The kinetics is interpreted in terms of an inne
r-sphere reduction of Fe(phen)2(3+) via formation of the reactive inte
rmediated Fe(phen)2-(SO3H)2+.
