A study on the synthesis of alkaline copper(III)-periodate (DPC) complex with an overview of its redox behavior in aqueous micellar media

摘要

In the present study the copper(III)-periodate (DPC) has been synthesized in an alkaline medium. The stability of this complex is significantly dependent on the pH of the medium; studies reported its stability in alkaline media. The stability of DPC was investigated in different surfactant media for the first time. The +3 oxidation state of copper is very useful for its high potential value and thus a representative electron transfer reaction between long chain alcohol (1-pentanol) and Cu(III) complex was monitored.
