How to determine which radicals are dominant in oxidation

[QUOTE="TeethWhitener, post: 6031602, member: 511972"] It sounds like you’re trying to describe iodometric titration, where you use an iodide solution to titrate a sample with an unknown amount of oxidant. The titration itself is not particularly sensitive to the type of oxidant. In fact, iodometric titration is usually used to measure H[SUB]2[/SUB]O[SUB]2[/SUB] in solution. So I don’t think this is the best way to directly measure OH radicals. EPR might be a better bet. Also, (brief aside) unless you’re inside the cooling water of a nuclear reactor, it’s exceedingly unlikely that free O or H atoms will be produced in solution. In fact, there’s a sizeable debate as to whether OH radicals are actually formed in solution. For example, in the Fenton reaction, which supposedly generates OH radicals transiently from hydrogen peroxide, there is some evidence that the oxidant is a hard-to-isolate oxo-iron open shell species.
