Summary: | [Display omitted]
•Fe(IV) is the dominant reactive intermediate in the Fe(II)/PMS system at acid pH.•Fe(IV) is also formed at circumneutral pH in the Fe(II)/PMS system.•18O labeled studies further verified the formation of Fe(IV)-oxo species.•Evolution of Fe(IV) in Fe(II)/persulfates systems was predicted by a kinetic model.•Evolution of Fe(IV) was monitored by a stopped-flow spectrophotometer.
Very recently, we have interestingly found that the Fe(II)-activated peroxydisulfate (PDS) process can oxidize methyl phenyl sulfoxide (PMSO) to its oxygen transfer product methyl phenyl sulfone (PMSO2), suggesting the possible occurrence of a ferryl intermediate (Fe(IV)) rather than long recognized sulfate radical (SO4−) in this process. In this work, the formation of PMSO2 was also observed when PMSO was treated by the Fe(II)/peroxymonosulfate (PMS) system over the pH range of 3–7, and the yield of PMSO2 (i.e., the molar ratio of PMSO2 formed to PMSO lost) was quantified to be approximately 100% under acidic conditions, similar to the Fe(II)/PDS system. Moreover, 18O from isotope-labeled water (H218O) was successfully incorporated into PMSO2 product when PMSO was oxidized by the Fe(II)/PDS and Fe(II)/PMS systems in H218O, likely due to the competitive oxygen exchange of Fe(IV)-oxo species with H218O. Further, Fe(IV) evolution profiles in both systems were predicted by a Fe(IV)-mediated kinetic model, and these results are in good agreement with the experimental data obtained with a stopped-flow spectrophotometer. |
