Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0040-4020(98)00974-0

Further aspects of the chemistry of TBHP in the presence of Fe(II) and Fe(III) species have been investigated. Now all the results previously reported with TBHP can be understood in terms of radical chemistry. Oxidation states of iron higher than Fe(III) are not involved.
