Description

This book presents the important facts about the reaction and mechanism in aqueous micellar media and colloidal systems. A detailed stereochemical discussion of the reaction steps in each mechanism and their relationship with kinetic observations has been considered. Kinetics is the study of rate processes such as chemical reactions, diffusion and the flow of charge in an electrochemical cell. Manganese shows variable oxidation state in their compounds and this ability is certainly related to the redox function of the metal ion in biological system. Permanganates are the broad range oxidants in synthetic as well as analytical chemistry and also act as disinfectant. The studies discussed in this book deals with the kinetics and mechanism of electron transfer reactions in colloidal systems of carbohydrates and amino acids in absence and presence of anionic, cationic and non-ionic surfactants by permanganate ions. It is believed that the present book will provide a succinct and clear introduction to kinetics and mechanism of electron transfer reaction that meets the needs of researchers at a variety of levels in several disciplines.
