Dear Friends:
Do all Cu(II) complexes display Fenton Like behavior? I mean both neutral and ionic Cu(II) complexes show degrading abilities against organic dyes in the presence of hydrogen peroxide?
Best,
Dear Adnan Qadir thank you for asking this interesting technical question. "Do all Cu(II) complexes display Fenton Like behavior?" I think that this question cannot be answered as it stands, because certainly not all copper(II) complexes have been studied with respect to displaing Fenton-like behavior. However, it is well-established that Cu(II) compounds exhibit the highest activity in such reactions. For a useful article in which different transition metals are compared please have a look at the following interesting paper:
A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF SEVERAL TRANSITION METALS IN FENTON-LIKE REACTION SYSTEMS AT CIRCUM-NEUTRAL pH

Good luck with your work!
Dear Frank:
Thank you very much for your note and the article.
Best,
Adnan
