Abstract
The mechanism of the Fe3+-ion-catalyzed oxygen evolution from H2O2 was investigated. The reaction proceeds through two intermediates. Oxygen is evolved by the reduction of the second intermediate FeO3+ by H2O2. Both O2 and the catalyst are liberated in this process, probably without the intermediate formation of free radicals. The rate constant of this step is proportional to [H+]-1. It was concluded that HO2- is the reactive form of H2O2 and that the reduction consists of a transfer of H- ions.
