Homogeneous sonochemistry catalysis

The sonochemistry of solutes dissolved in organic Hquids also remains largely unexplored. The sonochemistry of metal carbonyl compounds is an exception (57). Detailed studies of these systems led to important mechanistic understandings of the nature of sonochemistry. A variety of unusual reactivity patterns have been observed during ultrasonic irradiation, including multiple ligand dissociation, novel metal cluster formation, and the initiation of homogeneous catalysis at low ambient temperature (57).
