Abstract
Inorganic radicals, such as superoxide and hydroxyl, play an important role in biology. Their tendency to oxidize or to reduce other compounds has been studied by pulse radiolysis; electrode potentials can be derived when equilibrium is established with a well-known reference compound. An IUPAC Task Group has evaluated the literature and produced the recommended standard electrode potentials for such couples as (O2/O2·-), (HO·, H+/H2O), (O3/O3·-), (Cl2/Cl2·-), (Br2·-/2Br-), (NO2·/NO2-), and (CO3·-/CO32-).
