دراسة حركية، و آلية مقترحة لتفاعل الاكسدة الضوئية لحمض البروبيون بوجود شوارد الحديد الثلاثي و غياب الاكسجين

In this work we studied the photochemical oxidation of propionic acid in the presence of iron(III)-ions in aqueous medium under anaerobic conditions. All experiments have been carried out with a photoreactor, using polychromatic light (). We discussed the experimental results from mechanistic standpoint, assuming that the complex is the only photoactive species in the ion system. Thus, we investigated the reaction mechanism, and suggested a proposed rate for the overall reaction, on depending of the rate determining step.
