Inorganic Bromate Oscillators. Bromate-Manganous-Reductant

Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/j100242a030

A family of systems containing bromate and manganous ions and an inorganic reductant such as hydrazine, sulfite, arsenite, stannous, or iodide ion exhibits sustained oscillations in a flow reactor.These systems show bistability as well.Model calculations predict limit cycle behavior if the bromide flow of the minimal bromate oscillator is replaced by a flow of a reductant which generates bromide from Br2 and/or HOBr sufficiently rapidly.
