Kinetics and mechanism of disproportionation of Mn(VI)O42- induced by decomposition of intramanganato – polygalacturonate methyl ester coordination polymer precursor
During the oxidation of polygalacturonate methyl ester polysaccharide byMnO4− in highly basic medium, the formation of the green polygalacturonate methyl ester (PGME-Mn(VI)O42−) and the blue (PGMEMn( V)O43−) intermediates were followed spectrophotometrically. In this paper, the kinetics of the decay of the green (PGME-Mn(VI)O42−) intermediate, the second stage of the oxidation process, were followed spectrophotometrically at different concentrations of NaOH and ...
