Abstract
A family of systems containing bromate and manganous ions and an inorganic reductant such as hydrazine, sulfite, arsenite, stannous, or iodide ion exhibits sustained oscillations in a flow reactor. These systems show bistability as well. Model calculations predict limit cycle behavior if the bromide flow of the minimal brómate oscillator is replaced by a flow of a reductant which generates bromide from Br2 and/or HOBr sufficiently rapidly
