The reactions between Mn/sup 2 +/ and HO/sub 2//O/sub 2//sup -/ were studied in the presence of pyrophosphate, sulfate, or formate ligands. Manganous pyrophosphate is oxidized to manganic pyrophosphate by both HO/sub 2/ and O/sub 7//sup -/ at pH-dependent rates where k/sub 6/ varies from 3 x 10/sup 5/ to 2 x 10/sup 7/ M/sup -1/ s/sup -1/ in the pH range of 0.1-7.2. The sulfate and formate complexes both react to yield the transient species MnO/sub 2//sup +//MnOOH/sup 2 +/; MnO/sub 2//sup +/ eventually disappears by complex processes while MnOOH/sup 2 +/ reacts with additional Mn/sup 2 +/ to form a dinuclear species, MnOOHMn/sup 4 +/, and/or oxidizes to Mn/sup 3 +/. Reaction kinetics have been established from pH 1 to 7 for these two systems.
