Salt effects in the reaction of hexacyanoferrate(II) with periodate

The effects of various salts on the kinetics of ferrocyanide oxidation by periodate are reported. The reaction exhibits salt effects of low specificity at low concentrations of the added salts (<0.1 M). At higher concentrations, the effectiveness order for alkaline cations is Li⁺>K⁺>Na⁺ and tetralkylammonium ions have a comparable (Et₄N⁺) or even greater (Me₄N⁺) accelerating effects than alkaline cations.
