Self-oscillating gels based on novel catalyst for the Belousov–Zhabotinsky reaction
Ilya L. Mallphanov, Vladimir K. Vanag
Abstract
We report on the synthesis of new Ru(bpy)2(phen) catalyst for the oscillatory Belousov–Zhabotinsky chemical reaction and on the preparation of novel Ru(bpy)2(phen)-based self-oscillating gels. The synthesized gels exhibit high-amplitude autonomous mechanical oscillations when the Belousov–Zhabotinsky reaction proceeds inside these gels
