Abstract:
A metal hexacyanocobaltate cobalthexanitrite nitroferricyanide catalyst complexed with one or more organic complexing agents, wherein (a) the metal is any that forms a water-insoluble precipitate with hexacyanocobaltate cobalthexanitrite and nitroferricyanide groups, (b) the molar ratio of hexacyanocobaltate to cobalthexanitrite groups is about 1:0.1-1.0, (c) the molar ratio of hexacyanocobaltate to nitroferricyanide groups is from about 1:0.1-1.0, (d) the molar ratio of hexacyanocobaltate groups to cobalthexanitrite and nitroferricyanide groups combined is about 1:0.5-1.5 and (e) the complexing agent is selected from the group consisting of include alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, ethers, amides, nitriles, sulfides and compounds having an S&boxH;O group.
