Abstract
The absorption spectra and formation constants of the complexes of CuI with ethylene, isobutene, acrylamide. and allyl alcohol have been measured in aqueous solution. The oxidation of the allyl alcohol and ethylene complexes by O2 and H2O2 has been investigated. In the former case H2O2 is a major product, and in the latter epoxide is formed. Reaction mechanisms which account for the observed kinetics and stoicheiometries are discussed.Keywords
