Oscillatory System I-, H2O2, HClO4: The Modified Form of the Bray-Liebhafsky Reaction
The kinetics of iodide ions oxidation with hydrogen peroxide in solutions of perchloric acid at temperature of 60 degrees C has been studied in detail. We have found conditions under which this reaction proceeds oscillatory. The Bray-Liebhalsky (BL) oscillatory reaction started by the oxidation of iodide ions with hydrogen peroxide is described for the first time. The described results support our assumption (Olexova, A.; Mrakavova, M.; Melichercik, M.; Treindl, L. Collect. Czech. Chem. Common. 2006, 71, 91-106) that singlet oxygen (O-1(2)) is an important intermediate of the BL oscillatory reaction in the sense of the Noyes-Treindl (N-T) skeleton mechanism (Treindl, L.; Noyes, R.M. J. Phys. Chem. 1993, 97, 11354-11362).
