Abstract

Benzoyl peroxide (BP) decomposition in the presence of the Cp2Fe, (C5Me5)2Fe, (C5Me5)2ZrCl2, (AcC5H4)(C5H4)Fe, Cp2ZrCl2, and Cp2TiCl2 metallocenes in ethylbenzene oxidation as a model reaction has been studied. It has been shown that the metallocenes have a catalytic effect on BP decomposition in accordance with their electrochemical potentials. The rate constant of the bimolecular BP decomposition reaction with the formation of radicals in the BP-ferrocene system (1.46 L mol−1 s−1) has been found.
