Abstract: The kinetics and mechanism of electron transfer from sodium tartrate to Ni(Ⅳ) periodate complex have been studied in aqueous alkaline medium using spectroscopic and stopped-flow method. The kinetics exhibits a pseudo first order for the disap-pearance of Ni(Ⅳ) periodate complex when substrate is present in excess. The order for the substrate found is not an integer. Additon of NaIO_4 and NaOH affects the reaction rates. Results are interpreted in terms of a mechanism involving two separated steps of one-electron transfer from the substrate to the species containing Ni(IV). The activation parameters of this reaction have been calculated.
