A detailed study of the oxidation of L-ascorbic acid by dioxygen and nitrite in water at pH 5.8 and 7.0, catalyzed by the octasulfophenyltetrapyrazinoporphyrazine complex of cobalt(II), was carried out using conventional spectrophotometric, low-temperature and high-pressure stopped-flow techniques. The Co(II) complex activates L-ascorbic acid through an intramolecular one-electron oxidation step that involves the reduction of the octasulfophenyltetrapyrazinoporphyrazine. The reaction rate strongly depends on pH due to the different redox behaviour of the L-ascorbic acid/ascorbate species present in solution. Kinetic parameters for the different reaction steps of the catalytic process were determined. The final product of the reaction between L-ascorbic acid and nitrite was found to be nitrous oxide.
Sorption of dyes Acid Orange and Rhodamine G with alumino-and titanium-containing frameworks based on terephthalic acid was investigated. It has been established that these compounds are of a higher absorbing capacity in comparison with the best examples of the compounds used for these purposes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
