摘要

The emission of light from the permanganate-oxalate reaction enables monitoring of intermediates not accessible through traditional spectrophotometric interrogation. Despite the inherent complexity of the underlying chemical reactions and equilibria, the emission intensity-time profile was characterized by a simple model combining previously independent minimalistic descriptions of chemiluminescence and autocatalysis. The generation of the electronically excited [Mn-II]* emitter and the acceleration of the reaction even in the presence of high initial concentrations of Mn-II (under conditions that preclude accumulation of colloidal Mn-IV) provide new evidence for the reduction of manganese species by a reactive radical intermediate as a supplementary positive feedback loop to the formation of Mn-II.
