consumption of IrCl612*" in the presence of oxygen probably occurs because sulfur(V) intermediates are scavenged by oxygen instead of by IrCl62". The absence of strong catalysis by copper(II) suggests that sulfur(V) intermediates react very rapidly with IrCle2-, however. The lack of rate dependence on buffer concentration confirms that the [H+] dependence shown in eq II should not be replaced by acetate or acetic acid dependences.The fact that the data do not show much evidence that a term second order in HS03~s hould be added to eq II shows that reduction by S2O52" is not an important reaction under
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
