Influence of organic ligands on chromium (VI) reduction by iron (II)
Article Abstract:
Iron (II) is one of the most vital reductants that transforms toxic organic complexes, employing UV-vis spectroscopy and kinetic fitting. Fe(III)-stabilizing ligands, such as bi- and multidentate carboxylates and phenolates, generally hasten the reaction, whereas Fe(II)-stabilizing ligands, such as phenanthroline, essentially cease the reaction. These results are vital in DOC-rich soils and natural waters with respect to Cr(VI) reduction rates, the mobility of the products and the reoxidation probability of newly reduced Cr(III).

Influence of organic ligands on chromium(VI) reduction by iron(II)
Article Abstract:
Fe(III)-stabilizing ligands such as bi- and multidentate carboxylates and phenolates were found to hasten chromium(VI) reduction to nontoxic chromium(III). Fe(II)-stabilizing ligands phenanthroline, on the other hand, halted chromium(VI) reduction. A decrease in the electron reduction potential of the Fe(III)L-Fe(II) redux couple results to an increase in the rate coefficients. The presence of organic ligands allows the formation of soluble Cr(III) and Fe(III) complexes.
