Effect of Pulsed Illumination on the Belousov-Zhabotinsky Reaction Catalyzed with Tris(bipyridine) Ruthenium(II) in Continuous Stirred Tank Reactor
The photochemical response of BZ reaction with photosensitive Ru(bpy)32+ has been studied under pulsed illumination in a continuous–flow stirred tank reactor, CSTR. Two types of photo-response, the advanced and delayed phase shifts of oscillation, are observed depending on the initial concentrations of malonic acid (MA) or Br− and the timing of a pulsed illumination.
