The Ce(III)-, Mn(II)-, or ferroin reaction of bromate ion and 2Ο© (Fe(phen) )-catalyzed 3 pyruvic acid (PA) or its dimer exhibits oscillatory behavior. Both the open-chain dimer (parapyruvic acid, β₯-methyl-β₯-hydroxyl-β£-keto-glutaric acid, DPA1) and the cyclic-form dimer (β£keto-β₯-valerolactone-β₯-carbo

β¦ Synopsis
The observation of photoinduced image formation in the alcohol-added ferroin-catalyzed Belousov-Zhabotinsky (BZ) reaction is reported. It is found that alcohol acts as a reagent that reduces the activation energy both of the ferroin-catalyzed and the Ce-catalyzed BZ reaction system and enhances the photosensitivity. By comparing the photosensitivity and photoinduced image formation for the ferroin-catalyzed BZ system with and without alcohol, we concluded that the photosensitivity of this alcohol-added BZ reaction system is enhanced by the presence of alcohol. This enhancement of the photosensitivity was confirmed in other alcohols such as ethanol, l-propanol and 2-propanol.
