Description

Iron(VI) can be reduced in aqueous solutions to iron(V) by pulse radiolytically generated CO2-, k3 = (3.5 +/- 0.1) x 108 M-1 s-1. The respective UV and visible spectra for these hypervalent oxidation states or iron are reported. It was found that formate reacts 105 times faster with Fe(V) than with Fe(VI). Other kinetic rate measurements include the following: k4[O2- + Fe(VI)] = (5.71 +/- 0.17) x 103, k[NADA + Fe(VI)] = 77.1 +/- 4.4, k[HCOONa + Fe(VI)] = (2.33 +/- 0.4) x 10-2, k[EtOH + Fe(VI)] = (1.47 +/- 0.7) x 10-3, k[DPTA + Fe(VI)] = (8.53 +/- 0.32) x 10-4, k[HCOONa + Fe(V)] = (2.48 +/- 0.32) x 103 M-1 s-1. The results are discussed in terms of their possible role in Fe(VI) oxidation processes
