An improved rate law for the CeIV-induced decomposition of HOOSO3- in aqueous H2SO4 has been established by study of the rate as a function of acidity. In aqueous HClO4 the rate is much faster but a rate law could not be obtained. Peroxydisulfate, by a variant of the AsIII and FeII analysis of the redox system, has been shown to be formed in the amount of half of the CeIV lost. A free-radical chain mechanism is postulated.

The metal ion catalyzed chlorination of 1-chlorobutane, 1-chlorohexane, methyl-pentanoate, and methyl-heptanoate by protonated N-chloroamines proceeds by a free radical chain mechanism and the chain carrying species was shown not to be a chlorine atom, but an amino radical cation.

A thermodynamical argument is used to support the suggestion made elsewhere that the more common radical chain mechanism for catalysed decomposition of H2O2 need not predominate if the catalyst can readily undergo a reversible 2-electron oxidation. How complete the exclusion of free radical formation may be depends upon the redox characteristics of the catalyst and on whether its oxidation by two single-electron steps is readily reversible along the same path.
