Abstract
Kinetic investigations of the reaction of manganese decacarbonyl have shown that two rate determining processes operate; one involving the formation of a reactive intermediate, which may be a pair of Mn(CO)5 radicals trapped in a solvent cage, the other involving the dissociation of a carbon monoxide molecule. Kinetic data are used to reinterpret the results of Bamford et al. on the use of mixtures of manganese carbonyl and carbon tetrachloride to initiate vinyl polymerization.
