    Abstract: The kinetics of oxidation of one of the formamidine derivatives, namely, methylaminopyrazole formamidine (MAPF) by cerium(IV) has been investigated in aqueous perchlorate solutions at a constant ionic strength of 1.2 mol dm-3 and at 25°C. The progress of the reaction was followed spectrophotometrically. The reaction exhibited a first order kinetics... Show More
