Clock reactions2−4 are commonly used to illustrate chemical
kinetics because such systems are easily monitored by means of
the initial rates method. Rate laws are deduced from the experimental
results and the reaction mechanisms are discussed.1,5−7
Clock reactions are also conveniently used to demonstrate the
dependence of reaction rates on temperature3,4,7,8 as well as on
ionic strength. The corresponding results may give insight into
the reaction mechanism.7,9−12
