Kinetics and Mechanism of Electron Transfer to Heptavalent Manganese by DL-Aspartic Acid in Alkaline Aqueous and Micellar Media

Figure 2

Spectral changes during the oxidation of DL-Aspartic acid by permanganate in alkaline medium at 303 K: 10⁴[MnO₄⁻] = 2.0 mol dm⁻³, 10³[Asp] = 2.0 mol dm⁻³, and 10²[OH⁻] = 1.0 mol dm⁻³ and 𝐼=0.05 mol dm⁻³. 1: mixture immediately after mixing; 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 after 5 min, 10 min, 15 min, 20 min, and 25 min, respectively.
