✦ Synopsis
The kinetics of the oxidation of ascorbic acid by diaquatetrakis (2,2'-bipyridine)-p-oxo diruthenium(III) in aqueous HC104 were investigated. The dependence of the second order rate constant k2 on [H +] is given by k2 = a + b[H+] -1, indicating that both the undissociated form and the monoanion of ascorbic acid are reactive. Marcus theory was used to estimate the redox potential for the Rum--O--Rum/Rum--O--Ru n couple and a feasible mechanism has been proposed to explain the results.
