Abstract
Abstract This review surveys the kinetics of the oxidation of organic substrates by hexacyanoferrate(III). Although a relatively poor oxidant, hexacyanoferrate(III) is a selective outer-sphere reactant applicable to the most easily oxidizable substrates, and frequently it is used as an interceptor of free radicals; this converts this species into an efficient one-electron oxidant particularly interesting in the comparative study of octahedral complexes. The major developments for each family of substrates are emphasized, comparing the mechanistic details for the various reaction types.
