KINETICS OF ELECTROCHEMICAL REDUCTION OF 2-CARBOMETHOXY-1,1-DICHLORO-2-METHYLCYCLOPROPANE BY THE DOUBLE MEDIATOR SYSTEM ANTHRACENE - PT-II,PD-II, AND NI-II COMPLEXES OF CYCLIC AMINOMETHYLPHOSPHINES

Effective rate constants of homogeneous reduction of 2-carbomethoxy-1, 1-dichloro-2-methylcyclopropane have been calculated by the polarograp hic method of determining the catalytic increase in the limiting curre nt of the reduction wave of mediators, i.e., individual complexes of p latinum, palladium or nickel with cyclic aminomethylphosphines and the ir combination with anthracene radical anions. Platinum compounds show higher catalytic activity than palladium and nickel complexes in dire ct reduction with metallocomplexes. The catalytic activity of a double mediator system for the majority of metallocomplexes is higher than t he total catalytic activity of the individual metallocomplex and organ ic carrier.
