    Abstract: The kinetics of chromic acid oxidation of one of aminopyrazole formamidine derivatives, namely N,N-dimethyl-N’ -(5-methyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl) formamidine (MAPF)in sulfuric acid solutions has been investigated at constant ionic strength and temperature. The progress of the reaction was followed spectrophotometrically. The reaction showed a first order ... Show More

    Abstract: The kinetics of oxidation of N, N-dimethyl-N’-(pyridin-2-yl) formamidine (Py-F) by cerium(IV) was studied spectrophotometrically in aqueous perchloric acid solutions at a constant ionic strength of 1.0 mol dm-3 and at 20°C. The reaction showed first order dependence with respect to [Ce(IV)] and less than unit order with respect to [Py-F]. The react... Show More
