Abstract: The oxidn. of malonic acid by the Mn(III) in H₂SO₄ is an important constituent of the Belousov-Zhabotinskii oscillating system. It is an inner-sphere redox reaction the first step of which is the formation of an intermediate complex. It is followed by the slow and rate-detg. formation of •CH(CO₂H)₂ and Mn(II)(SO₄)n in a reversible reaction. The influence of O₂ on the activation parameters is described.
