Abstract
The Briggs-Rauscher reaction involving iodate, hydrogen peroxide, malonic acid and Mn(II) in acid solution exhibits bistability and oscillation in a CSTR as well as batch oscillation. We have developed a mechanism for this reaction which reproduces these and other dynamic features. Astonishingly, our model is qualitatively identical to, though quantitatively different from, that derived independently by NOYES and FURROW [1].
