Welcome to the Web site for the Task Group on Radical Reduction Potentials.

This task group is supported by IUPAC and by the Swiss ETH. IUPAC is the International Union for Pure and Applied Chemistry. The task group is working on a three-year project to evaluate the reduction potentials and related thermochemical properties of radicals in aqueous solution.

The Task Group Leader is David M. Stanbury at Auburn University, AL, USA.

The other members of the Task group are:

Dave Armstrong University of Calgary, Alberta, Canada

Bob Huie NIST, Gaithersburg, MD, USA

Wim Koppenol ETH, Zurich, Switzerland

Sergei Lymar Brookhaven Nat. Lab., Upton, NY, USA

Gabor Merenyi Royal Inst. of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden

Pedi Neta NIST, Gaithersburg, MD, USA

Peter Wardman Gray Cancer Institute, Middlesex, UK

Steen Steenken Mulheim, Germany

The task group is engaged in evaluating reduction potentials involving aqueous radicals and related equilibrium constants. The objective is to create a critically-evaluated set of tables of the following data:

Reduction potentials involving inorganic radicals

Reduction potentials involving organic radicals

Radical pK_as

Radical association equilibria

It is anticipated that the results of this project will be published in 2006.
