Campbell, I G

The chemical effects of isomeric transition in bromate in solution were studied. Evidence has been found for the existence of an unstable bromite fragment, the Br/aup 80/ of which comes to be present as bromate in aqueous solutions but which can be reduced to lower valency forms in solution by methanol, and possibly oxidized to bromate by oxidizing agents. Charge neutralization of 18 min Br/sup 80/ present in lower valency forms does not lead to formation of bromate, and stable Br-O bond formation during discharge of bromite fragments appears theoretically improbable. Bromite fragments do aot undergo hydration at high pH values, The effects of isomeric transition in bromate are compared with effects of (n, ) reactions in oxy-anions. (auth)
