Abstract
The effect of dimerization on the final state of irreversible catalytic systems was investigated. It was found that dimerization of the catalyst reduced the concentration of intermediates formed. On the other hand, formation of the intermediate shifted the monomer-dimer equilibrium to the monomer side. This trend could be reversed when the intermediate was dimerized too. Data for the deuteroferriheme-ClO2- ion reaction were analyzed. They indicated that the intermediate formed between the reaction partners underwent partial dimerization. Ratios of rate constants of the reaction, extinction coefficients of the monomeric and dimeric species formed, were calculated.
