Abstract

The formation of Oxygen paramagnetic adducts of Co(II) containing ion-exchange resins in the presence of adsorbed ethylenediamine has been found. The EPR parameters of a complex of the type Co(III) (en)2O-2 and of O-2 species formed in the presence of Co(en)2+3 have been described. The catalytic properties of Co-ethylenediamine surface complexes with respect to the hydrogen peroxide decomposition reaction have been investigated and a probable mechanism has been suggested.
