%X The present manuscript deals the kinetics and mechanism of the reaction between crotonic acid and ceric perchlorates. The order of the reaction with respect to Ce (IV) is unity but the rate is dependent on the initial concentration of the Ce (IV). The spectrophotometric investigation has been also carried out which negatived the intermediate complex formation. The main reaction species of Ce (IV) involved in rate determining step was the hydrated uncomplexed ceric ion which at higher initial concentration gets dimerises.
