Kinetics of Decomposition of Hydrogen Peroxide in the Presence of Mono- and Heteropolynuclear Complexes of Cu.sup.2+ and Co.sup.2+/3+ with Deprotonated Di- and Triethanolamines

Features of the decomposition of H.sub.2O.sub.2 in the presence of polynuclear complexes with Co.sub.2Cu.sub.2 and Co.sub.3Cu.sub.2 metal cores with deprotonated and di- and triethanolamines (H.sub.2Dea and H.sub.3Tea), compounds with the composition (H.sub.2Tea)Co.sub.nCu.sub.mCl (m + n =1; n = 0.33, 0.5, 0.67), and mononuclear complexes (H.sub.2Tea)CuCl and (H.sub.2Tea)CoCl were examined. It is suggested that the reaction in the presence of poly- and mononuclear complexes has different mechanisms.
