Sonochemical reactions of lead tetracarboxylates with styrene

A study was conducted to analyze the sonochemical reactions of lead tetracarboxylates with styrene. The experiments were performed in the dark under an argon atmosphere. Potassium acetate and proponaote were dried before use. Experimental results indicated that carboxylate anions significantly affects the reaction associated with the conversion of styrene. Findings also showed a sonochemical effect in homogeneous solutions.
