Reactivity of the peroxynitrite ion toward a number of inorganic radicals was determined by using the pulse radiolysis technique. The rate constants for the oxidation of the ONOO- ion by CO3·-, ·N3, and ClO2· radicals were determined from their decay kinetics to be (7.7 ± 1.2) x 106 (I = 0.6 M), (7.2 ± 0.9) x 108, and (3.2 ± 0.3) x 104 M-1 s-(l), respectively. For the ·OH radical, the rate constant of (4.8 ± 0.8) x 109 M-1 s-1 was obtained by using competition kinetic analysis. The oxidation potential of the ONOO- ion was estimated as 0.8 V from the kinetic data. Although thermodynamically favorable, oxidation of ONOO- by the °NO2 radical was not observed; an upper limit of 2.5 x 104 M-1 s-1 could be set for this reaction. Contribution from some of these reactions to the decomposition of peroxynitrite in the presence and absence of CO2 is discussed.
