Abstract
Zirconium(IV) catalyzes perborate oxidation of iodide ion. In acidic s olution the oxidation is zero order with respect to perborate, first o rder with respect to Zr(IV), independent of [H+] and exhibits Michaeli s-Menten dependence on [I]. Mechanistic pathway of the catalysis is di scussed and a rate equation is derived.
