The possible roles that trace metals may play in the catalysis of aquatic reactions are explored. Kinetic and mechanistic aspects of hydrolysis, redox, and autoxidation reactions are considered. Transition metals and associated complexes may be useful from a commercial standpoint for improved pollution control systems. The catalyzed auto-Oxidation of reduced sulfur compounds in the presence of homogeneous or heterogeneous organometallic complexes may provide convenient and economical methods for sulfur pollution control.
