“…The equilibrium data cannot directly indicate the nature of the reaction, but clearly Ag+ enhances the rate of the reaction and shortens the time to reach equilibrium. Preliminary data suggest that the background reaction depends on the thermal decomposition of S2082-and that Ag+ acts as a catalyst in accordance with other studies involving S2082~a nd Ag+ (18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26).…”
