Role of Coordination Environment in the Oxidation of CrIII Aminocarboxylate Complexes by Hydrous Manganese Oxide

Abstract Oxidation of CrIII to CrVI by MnIII,IV (hydr)oxides plays an important role in controlling chromium mobility and toxicity in soils and sediments. Previous studies on CrIII oxidation by hydrous manganese oxide (HMO) reveals that reaction rates are highly sensitive to CrII...
