The oxidation studies of ascorbic acid (H 2 A) are important both biochemically 1–17 and biomedically 18–21. The kinetic studies of such reactions have further generated an interest to understand its oxidation reactions by metal ions, nonmetal ions, and metal ion complexes as oxidants 22–26 in acid aqueous medium. Also, l-ascorbic acid is considered to be an important biological compound of immense significance as a water-soluble vitamin C 27. Its application in ...
