✦ Synopsis

Perborate in aqueous solution generates H202; in its presence the molybdenum(VI) catalysed oxidation of iodide ion is first order with respect to the oxidant and catalyst, and is independent of [I-] and [H +]. Kinetic studies point to peroxymolybdenum(VI) species as the oxidizing species.
