Reaction mechanism for the complete heterogeneous catalytic oxidation of chlorine derivatives of benzene

The complete catalytic oxidation of benzene and its chlorine derivatives is shown to proceed via the formation of a -complex that is further transformed into phenolate, carboxylate, and carbonate surface compounds, which give rise through desorption to oxides of carbon.Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Éksperimental'naya Khimiya, Vol. 28, Nos. 5–6, pp. 464–468, September–December, 1992.
