comparison of the spin Hamiltonian parameters of the p-superoxo- and
p-aniido-p-superoxo-dicobalt(Ir1) complexes. It is of interest that the

symmetrically delocalised over the Co-0-0-Co system. The monomeric

peroxo-radical py Co(G,H,) 0, is closely similar to that of peroxoco-
balamin, thus indicating the similarity of the electron environments of the

The kinetics of the oxidation and catalytic decomposition of the hexa-
cyanoferrate(r1) ion 348 has been investigated, the reaction
4Fe(CN),4- + 4H+ + O2 4Fe(CN),3- + 2H20
proceeding only in acid solution in the absence of light. The first-order
rate constants are proportional to the sum of the concentrations of the
species [HFe(CN),3-] and [H,Fe(CN),2-], indicating that these protonated
species are involved in the oxidation process. The oxidation is considered
to proceed via an electron transfer from the complex to the proton to yield
a hydrogen radical which then produces H02' on interaction with an
oxygen molecule.
