Abstract
The photochemical oxidation of ethylbenzene in the presence of cobalt(III) 2,4-pentanedionate has been investigated. On the basis of results for the kinetics of chemical transformation of catalyst in the course of this reaction, a hypothesis is advanced concerning photoinitiating effect of cobalt(III) 2,4-pentanedionate on ethylbenzene oxidation.
