title: Interaction of sodium, lithium, caesium, and potassium ions with ascorbyl radicals.
abstract: The influence of the concentration of sodium, lithium, caesium, and potassium ions as well as of the ionic strength of the solutions used on the dismutation rate of ascorbyl radicals has been investigated. While the dismutation rate was not influenced by Li+, it decreased, however, with increasing concentrations of the other ions investigated. The largest effect was obtained with Na+. This change in dismutation rate indicates a stabilizing effect on ascorbyl radical by these ions.
