Structure-reactivity correlation in bromate oscillatory systems in aqueous-acetonitrile mixed medium

The oscillatory behavior of eight substrates has been studied in the uncatalyzed and catalyzed [Mn(II) and ferroin] bromate systems in aqueous-acetonitrile mixed medium. The reactivities of structurally related compounds are correlated using their oscillatory characteristics. The exchange current density values of the redox couples involved play a vital role in deciding the oscillatory characteristics of the system. © 1993 Akadémiai Kiadó.
