Abstract

The rates of homolytic decomposition of Cr-C(CH3)2OH2+, Cr-C(CH3)2CO2H2+, and Cr-C(CH3)2CN2+ are 0.15 s−1, 4 s−1, and 104 < k < 106 s−1, respectively. The reaction of some aliphatic free radicals, ·R with CrIII-R complexes is very fast, k3 ≥ 108 M−1 s−1. The rate of reaction of Cr2+(aq) with H2O2 is k16 = (3.7 ± 0.7) × 104 M−1 s−1 in good accord with the literature value. These results are discussed in detail.
