Abstract
The disproportionation of aqueous hydrogen peroxide catalyzed by sodiu m tungstate has been investigated with regard to the multiplicity of t he oxygen molecules released. Trapping experiments and detection of th e IR luminescence of O-1(2) have shown that the yield of O-1(2) is vir tually quantitative. The mono-, di-, and tetraperoxotungstate intermed iates W(O-2)(n)O-4-n(2-) (n = 1, 2, 4) have been characterized by UV a nd W-183 NMR spectroscopies. The diperoxo species is proposed as the p recursor of O-1(2).
