“…In the presence of mentioned complexes, similarly to the reaction in solutions [2][3][4], the ozone decomposition proceeds by the radical chain mechanism, the kinetic proof of which can be the difference between the values of first-order reaction rate constant at the beginning of the reaction and at the ozone half-conversion time. Consequently, metal complex 1 Odesa I.I.
