The observed orders are consistent with the formation of metal(n+)-alcohol species as part of the reaction mechanism. For the more polarizing Ir(IV), however, Ir(IV)-alcoholate species are likely involved in the mechanism. Formation constants for the Mn(III)and Co(II)-phosphopolyoxotungstate-alcohol species with all of the above alcohols have been evaluated in 1,2-dichloroethane at 25 °C and range from 19.0-3.5 M⁻¹. The most likely transition state involves coordination of the alcohol to the transition metal substituted at the lacunary site, or alkoxide in the case of Ir(IV), along with interaction of the double bond of the alcohol with a peroxogroup located at a W(VI) site adjacent to the substituted transition metal.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:36:16 AEDT ]]> Scanning transmission x-ray microscopy of polymer nanoparticles: probing morphology on sub-10nm length scales https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:17883 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:56:19 AEDT ]]>
