Self-Sterilizating Properties of Martian Soil: Possible Nature & Implications
As a result of the Viking missions in 1970s, the presence of a strong oxidant in Martian soil was suggested. Here we present a testable, by near-term missions, hypothesis that iron (VI) contributes to that oxidizing pool.

Martian Oxidant: May be Ferrate (Fe(VI))?
Fe(VI) in the form of ferrate salts, with FeO(sub 4)(sup 2-) anion, was studied for its spectral and oxidative properties, with the question of whether it might be a suitable analog of the Mars soil oxidant, proposed as a result of the Viking missions of the early 1970s.

Ferrate (VI): Testable Hypothesis for the Martian Oxidant
The Viking Gas Chromatograph Mass Spectrometer failed to detect organic matter on Mars, and both the Viking Labeled Release and Gas Exchange experiments indicated a highly oxidizing reactive soil on Mars surface.
