K. Kurincsorgei et al., TEMPERATURE-TRIGGERED CHEMICAL OSCILLATORS - A PECULIAR TEMPERATURE EFFECT IN PERTURBED UNCATALYZED BROMATE-DRIVEN REACTIONS, Chemical physics letters, 271(1-3), 1997, pp. 67-72
Some uncatalyzed bromate oscillators with p-substituted phenol derivat
ives as the organic substrates when perturbed with chloride ions show
a remarkable behavior, namely, a sudden transition, at a well-defined
threshold temperature, from the non-oscillatory to the oscillatory sta
te, and back. The high sensitivity of the reacting systems towards chl
oride ion perturbation and the conditions for the occurrence of the ph
enomenon are described.
