Oscillatory reactions in the lactic acid/acidic bromate system with a tetraazamacrocyclic nickel(ii) complex as catalyst

“…According to the literature [7][8][9][10][11][12][13], the tetraazamacrocyclic complex-catalyzed systems show some features considerably different from those of the classical ones. In this type of BZ system, both tetraazmacrocyclic complex and organic substrate have a marked influence on the oscillations.…”

“…It has been reported that some organic species like malonic acid [7], gallic acid [8] and pyruvic acid [9][10][11][12][13] can serve as substrates in BZ oscillations with tetraazamacrocyclic complexes of Cu(II) and Ni(II) as catalysts. In order to search for the possibilities that other organic species may participate in this kind of oscillating reactions, we have investigated the behavior of lactic acid, an important metabolite of the Krebs cycle.…”
