Gl. Elizarova et al., The role of peroxo complexes in the catalytic decomposition of H2O2 in thepresence of Cu(II) hydroxides, KINET CATAL, 41(3), 2000, pp. 332-339
The catalytic decomposition of hydrogen peroxide is studied in the presence
of colloidal and silicagel-supported Cu(OH)(2). Copper peroxo complexes wi
th different activities were identified. The reaction is molecular without
radical formation. The mechanisms of H2O2 decomposition are discussed.
