Evolution of ethylene from 1-aminocyclopropanecarboxylic acid by binuclear iron(III)-peroxide adducts
Abstract
Significant ethylene evolution was observed in the reaction of 1-aminocyclopropanecarboxylic acid, binuclear iron(III) compounds and hydrogen peroxide; the origin of the ethylene is discussed in terms of the activation of peroxide ion by the binuclear iron(III) compounds.
