Sa. Borisenkova et al., Kinetics and mechanism of destruction of cobalt phthalocyanine derivativesin aqueous solutions, J PORPHYR P, 4(7), 2000, pp. 684-688
The kinetics of the oxidative destruction of cobalt phthalocyanine derivati
ves in aqueous solutions has been investigated in the concentration interva
l 10(-4)-10(-5) M as a function of the concentration of alkali and the part
ial pressure of oxygen in the system. The kinetic equation for the initial
solution bleaching rate is obtained. A mechanism of cobalt phthalocyanine d
estruction involving an intermediate Co(II) --> Co(III) oxidation step is s
uggested. Copyright (C) 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
