Abstract The study of the catalytic decomposition of cyclohexenyl hydroperoxide shows that the reaction occurs by a free-radical process which can be described by a monoelectronic Haber-Weiss mechanism involving rhodium (I), rhodium (II) and rhodium (III) species. The validity of the proposed mechanism was tested by simulating it on a digital computer and comparing the observed and calculated rate constants. Good agreement between kinetic ...
