Abstract
IN a study of the reactions of metal complexes with hydrogen peroxide, in particular the system Fe3+, αα'-dipyridyl which gives the "Katalasestoss" reported by Kuhn and Wassermann1, we found it necessary to obtain data on the equilibrium and kinetics of formation of the red ferrous complex ion, Fe(Dipy)32+, formed according to the reaction : A recent publication2 shows that, so far as the equilibrium is concerned, the analogous complex with o-phenanthroline has many similar features.
