Abstract

In this study several manganese catalysts, each with manganese in a different initial oxidation state, were used to decompose KCIO₃ under identical conditions. Also several rhenium compounds, with rhenium in different initial oxidation states, were used to decompose KClO₃ under the same conditions. Determination of the fate of the manganese and the rhenium in these reactions, and comparison of the catalytic effects of manganese and rhenium give data which help to explain the mechanism of the catalysis.
