L. Dozsa et P. Penzeli, HOMOGENEOUS CATALYTIC REDUCTION OF NO IN THE PRESENCE OF CO(III) COMPLEXES, Reaction kinetics and catalysis letters, 55(1), 1995, pp. 121-126
Several Co(III) complexes have been found to be active catalysts in th
e reaction of NO with n-butylamine. N-2 and N2O were identified as gas
eous products of the reduction. Isotope scrambling in N-2 and N2O in t
he experiments with N-15 enriched NO suggests two types of stoichiomet
ric processes. The catalysis is interpreted by formation of a NO-compl
ex as intermediate.
