Dynamical Behavior of Coupled Chemical Oscillators: Chlorite-Thiosulf ate- I odide-I odine‘ Jerzy Maselko2 and Irving R. Epstein* Department of Chemistry, Brandeis University, Waltham, Massachusetts 02254 (Received: January 30, 1984)
Bifurcation (phase) diagrams have been determined for systems consisting of C102-, S2O3’-, and I- or CIOz-, S20;-, I-, and I2 at pH 4 in a stirred tank reactor. From an analysis of the experimental behavior, topological models (phase portraits) are proposed which account for the observed dynamics. These systems display the features of the component C102--I- and C10
