Evidence for multistep reactions in the iron (III) catalysed autoxidation of sulphur (IV) oxides: possible steps during acid rain formation
Abstract
Kinetic and spectroscopic evidence is presented for the formation and decomposition of iron (III)–sulphur(IV) transients during the iron(III) catalysed autoxidation of sulphur (IV) oxides in aqueous solution, for which four different reaction steps could be identified.
