The homogeneous catalytic activation of molecular hydrogen by cupric salts in aqueous solution

Hydrogen, which is relatively inert at ordinary temperatures, was found to be, activated homogeneously in aqueous solution try dissolved cupric salts, as shown by their catalytic effect on the reactions between H₂ and reducible substrates such as Cr₂O₇⁼, IO₃⁻, and Ce⁺⁺⁺⁺. From kinetic studies of th...
