Abstract
The oscillating Belousov–Zhabotinsky reaction exhibits an initial quiescent induction period during which the concentrations of various reactants and intermediates adjust to a quasisteady‐state, which eventually switches into oscillation. The duration of this induction period is strongly dependent on the initial bromide ion concentration. The previously reported detailed mechanism for this system is used to calculate this dependence, and the results are shown to agree with recent experimental work. The factors that account for this behavior are discussed.

## Abstract Our previous mechanistic model for the Belousov–Zhabotinsky reaction has been revised to include a more realistic set of reactions for the oxidation pathways of the organic intermediates. A few other rate constants have also been modified to include new information. The revised mechanis
## Abstract A detailed chemical mechanism for the cerium catalyzed bromination and oxidation of malonic acid by bromate has been developed, and complete numerical solutions have been obtained for the temporal behavior of the concentrations of the intermediate species. The many points of similarity
The photo-induction of chemical oscillation has been found in the Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction in a continuous flow-stirred tank reactor. Photo-response of the system is characterized by taking the initial concentration of bromate ions and the incident light power as external control parameters. Th
The Ce(III)-, Mn(II)-, or ferroin reaction of bromate ion and 2ϩ (Fe(phen) )-catalyzed 3 pyruvic acid (PA) or its dimer exhibits oscillatory behavior. Both the open-chain dimer (parapyruvic acid, ␥-methyl-␥-hydroxyl-␣-keto-glutaric acid, DPA1) and the cyclic-form dimer (␣keto-␥-valerolactone-␥-carbo
