Description
Summary:The mechanism of the D-mannitol and fucoidan oxidation by *OH, peroxyl radicals, PRX* =  , HOCH 2 , and CH 2 ( ) , inorganic radicals, , , and [Ni III (Me 6 -[14]aneN 4 )H 2 O] 3+ was investigated by pulse radiolysis. Relative to the diffusion-controlled reaction of the *OH radical, the reactions of PRX*, , and are slow, with a 10 5 -10 6  (mol L −1 ) −1  s −1 order of magnitude. The formation of saccharide-Ni(III) complexes also accounts for oxidation of the D-mannitol and fucoidan by [Ni III (Me 6 -[14]aneN 4 )H 2 O] 3+ . A rate constant k = 2.2 × 10 7  (mol L −1 ) −1  s −1 was estimated for the complexation of [Ni III (Me 6 -[14]aneN 4 )H 2 O] 3+ by D-mannitol. In addition, both carbohydrates accelerate the decay of the Ni(III) complex which occurs with half life t 1/2  ∼ 10 2  ms. Consistent with the formation of fucoidan-Cu 2+ complexes, the flash irradiations of these complexes at 351 nm produces transient spectra assigned to (n = 2, 3) species. The non-linear dependence of the product concentration on the flash intensity shows that formation of the species is a biphotonic process.
