by direct template synthesis, were studied. It was shown that the copper compounds have high catalytic activity, whereas the nickel complexes are inactive. A mathematical model is proposed for description of the kinetic relationships, and the main characteristics of the process are obtained.The presence of several metallic centers in one molecule of a complex creates favorable conditions for the appearance of new physicochemical characteristics [1,2]. Heterometallic complexes are therefore attracting considerable attention from research workers [3]. As shown before [4,5], the heterobimetallic complexes of transition metals with ligands of the open-chain type exhibit photoconductivity and can also be used as precursors in the production of catalysts for the reduction of oxygen for air electrodes in chemical power cells. However, their catalytic activity in various practically important processes taking place in aqueous media has been insufficiently investigated.In a continuation of research into the useful characteristics of heterometallic compounds we present the results from investigation of the catalytic characteristics of heterobimetallic complexes [M 1 (L 1 /L 2 )][M 2 Cl 4 ] (M 1 = Ni, Cu; M 2 = Zn, Mn) with nitrogen-and oxygen-containing ligands of the open-chain type (L 1 = 4,6,6-trimethyl-1,9-diamino-3,7-diaza-3-nonene; L 2 = 1, 15-dihydroxy-7,9,9-trimethyl-3,6,10,13-tetraaza-6-pentadecene) in the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
