Notes:
Modified Belousov-Zhabotinskii (BZ) oscillation reactions were studied in the systems of ferroin or tris(2,2′-bipyridyl)ruthenium(II) dichloride or the polymerized ruthenium complex as electron transfer agents and sulfuric acid or polyethylenesulfonic acid (HPES) as acidic media. HPES was a good acidic medium for the chemical oscillation in spite of a long induction period. Moreover, chemical oscillation was observed at low concentration of HPES, where no oscillation was observed in the solution of sulfuric acid. On the other hand, no oscillation was observed in the solution of polystyrenesulfonic acid (HPSS). These results were discussed from the standpoint of the nature of polyelectrolytes.
