Kk. Sengupta et al., REACTIVITIES OF SOME ENERGY RICH ORGANIC ORTHOPHOSPHATES TOWARDS TRANSITION-METAL ION OXIDANTS, Indian journal of chemistry. Sect. A: Inorganic, physical, theoretical & analytical, 33(4), 1994, pp. 332-334
The orthophosphates, alpha- and beta-glycerophosphates, react with HCr
O4- in HClO4 medium to give 1:1 intermediates which subsequently decom
poses to give products of the reactions. The rate is directly proporti
onal to [H+] in each reaction. Thermodynamic parameters associated wit
h the equilibrium step and the activation parameters associated with t
he slowest step has been evaluated for each substrate. An attempt has
been made to correlate the results obtained earlier with other transit
ion metal ion oxidants.
