The reactions between Mn/sup 2 +/-phosphate and HO/sub 2//O/sub 2//sup -/ radicals result in the formation of transient, MnOOH/sup 2 +//MnO/sub 2//sup +/. The nonprotonated species subsequently yields the oxidized metal cation, Mn/sup 3 +/, while the protonated species can react with another Mn/sup 2 +/ to form the dinuclear transient, (MnOOHMn)/sup 4 +/; both mononuclear and dinuclear species subsequently yield Mn/sup 3 +/. Additional studies of the disappearance of MnO/sub 2//sup +/ in both formate and sulfate media established that the MnO/sub 2//sup +/-formate transient disappears by a first-order process while the MnO/sub 2//sup +/-sulfate transient reacts with O/sub 2//sup -/ at a rate about 7 times as fast. These results, along with those reported previously, have led to the formulation of a general mechanism to describe the reactions between Mn/sup 2 +/ complexes and HO/sub 2//O/sub 2//sup -/ radicals.
