| Catalyst | Rate -d[H2O2]/dt (M-1s-1) |
Ea (kJ/mol) |
| None | 10-8 | 71 |
| HBr | 10-4 | 50 |
| Fe2+/ Fe3+ | 10-3 | 42 |
| Hemoglobin or hematin | 10-1 | - |
| Fe(OH)2TETA+ | 103 | 29 |
| Catalase | 107 | 8 |
The rate is calculated for 1M of H2O2 and 1 M catalyst (or catalyst active sites) so a fair comparison can be made.
The structure of the active site analog Fe(OH)2TETA+ is

(where TETA is triethylenetetramine, tetradentate ligand - N,N'-bis(2-aminoethyl)-1,2-ethanediamine: H2N-CH2-CH2-NH-CH2-CH2-NH-CH2-CH2-NH2).
