“…To elucidate S(IV) autoxidation mechanisms, several studies have been performed with a variety of transition metal ions such as Fe(III)/phen (phen = 1,10-phenantroline) [5], Cu(II)/Cu(III)/G 4 [6][7][8][9][10], Co(II)/ Co(III)/NH 3 [11], Fe(II)/Fe(III)/EDTA [12], Fe(II), Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and V(IV) with phthalocyanines [13], Mn(II)/CDTA (CDTA = trans-1,2-cyclohexyletilenedinitrilotetracetic acid) [14], CoðIIÞ=CoðIIIÞ=N À 3 [15], Co(II)/ Co(III)/TRIS [16], MnðIIÞ=MnðIIIÞ=N À 3 [17], Mn(II)/ Mn(III)/Acetate [18], Ni(II)/Ni(III) with peptides [19][20][21], cyclam [22], hydroxide [23] and Fe(II)/(III)/H 2 O [24].…”
