Abstract
Rate parameters have been determined for the oxidation of water to oxygen by [Pt12(CO)24]2–. The cluster anion is found to catalyse the conversion of p-benzoquinone to benzene-1,4-diol with water or hydrogen. U.v.–visible and i.r. spectroscopy suggest the involvement of [{Pt3(CO)6}n]2–(n= 3 or 4) anions as active intermediates in these catalytic reactions.Keywords
