The reaction of (OHP)3Fe(II) (OHP = 4,7-dihydroxy-1,10-phenanthroline) with oxygen in aqueous 0.1 N NaOH solution takes place according to the stoichiometry:[Formula: see text]This stoichiometry holds whether (OHP)3Fe(II) or O2 is in excess. The rate law over a wide range of (OHP)3Fe(II) and O2 concentrations at 0.1 N NaOH has the form:[Formula: see text]A notable feature of this oxidation is that free HO2− is not produced as an intermediate. A plausible mechanism involving bound superoxide or peroxide as intermediates is proposed. Due to the redox nature of the OHP ligand and the low potenial of the (OHP)3Fe(II) complex, a 4 electron transfer from one (OHP)3Fe(II) to one O2 to give a Fe(IV) species with an oxidized ligand is a distinct possibility. The rate–pH profile is consistent with the protonation of (OHP)3Fe(II) (pKa ≈ 9.4) to give a more reactive species.

A mild, simple process for the effective aerobic oxidative deoximation of a wide range of ketoximes and aldoximes has been developed that utilizes Fe(NO3)3·9H2O as the single catalyst and molecular oxygen as the green oxidant. The environmentally benign protocol provides moderate to excellent yield and broad functional groups tolerance and is a valuable synthetic method for practical applications. According the relevant verification experiment, a plausible mechanism has been proposed.

[RuII(edta)(L)]2–, where edta4– =ethylenediaminetetraacetate; L = pyrazine (pz) and H2O, can reduce molecular oxygen sequentially to hydrogen peroxide and further to water by involving both outer-sphere and inner-sphere electron transfer processes.

Microplastics (MPs) are distributed in a wide range of aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems throughout the planet. They are known to adsorb hazardous substances and can transfer them across the trophic web. To eliminate MPs pollution in an environmentally friendly process, we propose using a photocatalytic process that can easily be implemented in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). As photocatalysis involves the formation of reactive species such as holes (h+), electrons (e−), hydroxyl (OH●), and superoxide ion (O2●−) radicals, it is imperative to determine the role of those species in the degradation process to design an effective photocatalytic system. However, for MPs, this information is limited in the literature. Therefore, we present such reactive species’ role in the degradation of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) MPs using C,N-TiO2. Tert-butanol, isopropyl alcohol (IPA), Tiron, and Cu(NO3)2 were confirmed as adequate OH●, h+, O2●− and e− scavengers. These results revealed for the first time that the formation of free OH● through the pathways involving the photogenerated e− plays an essential role in the MPs’ degradation. Furthermore, the degradation behaviors observed when h+ and O2●− were removed from the reaction system suggest that these species can also perform the initiating step of degradation.
