Reduction of the Structural Iron in Montmorillonite by Electron Transfer from Catechol and its Derivatives

The structural Fe(III) in montmorillonite (MMT) clay has been reduced using catechol and its derivatives. It was found that the reduction process is pH-dependent and also depends on the ring substituents. If the catecholic ring has electron-donating substituents, reduction happens at high pH; if the...
