Abstract
We have studied the autoxidation of ferrocenecarboxylic acid and its methyl ester in organic solvents in the presence of perchloric and trifluoroacetic acids. Based on the results of kinetic studies and data on the composition of the reaction products, we suggested the possible reaction mechanisms, including those of molecular and radical-chain macrostages of the process. The features of the solvent influence on the rate of oxidation of metallocomplexes and the reasons for its extreme dependence with increasing concentration of perchloric acid are discussed.
