“…Depending on the nature of the oxidant, both inner and outer-sphere mechanisms have been observed. The oxidations by one-electron oxidants such as Co 3+ (aq) [5], Mn 3+ (aq) [6], [Mn(bipy) 2 OH] 2+ [7], [Mn(edta)(H 2 O] - [8], Ce 4+ (aqV) [9], [Ni(bipy) 3 ] 3+ [10] and [Co(III)O 4 W 12 O 36 ] 5-(abbreviated to [Co(III)W] 5-) [11] in acidic medium, and by two-electron oxidants viz. [Ag(OH) 4 ] - [12], [Cu III (H 2 TeO 6 ) 2 ] 5-and [Ag III (H 2 TeO 6 ) 2 ] 5- [13] in alkaline medium and [(CH 2 ) 2 (C 2 N 5 H 6 ) 2 Ag] 3+ , ethylenebisbiguanidesilver(III) in acidic medium [14] are inner-sphere.…”
