T. Sekiguchi et al., PHOTO-RESPONSE OF THE [RU(BPY)3]2+ BRO3-/H+ SYSTEM IN A CONTINUOUS-FLOW STIRRED-TANK REACTOR/, Chemistry Letters, (8), 1993, pp. 1309-1312
Effect of photo-irradiation on the autocatalytic oxidation of [Ru(bpy)
3]Cl2 by acidic bromate has been investigated in a continuous-flow sti
rred tank reactor. The photo-induced bifurcation structure and phase d
iagram have been determined. It is shown that, for a certain range of
the bromate concentration, the photo-irradiation can either promote or
inhibit the autocatalytic oxidation of [Ru(bpy)3]2+ depending on the
irradiation light power.
