dc.description.abstract	The hydrolysis of 4-nitrophenyl phosphate (NPP) in the presence of several metal ions and polymetallic complexes in oil-in-water microemulsion was investigated at 10-3 M concentration. The reaction was monitored by measuring the absorbance of the Nitrophenolate ion produced in the reaction aliquots with time. The order of effectiveness of the metal ions and polymetallic complexes at neutral pH towards hydrolysis of NPP was found to be turnbull's blue > magnetite > Fe(III) > Fe(II) > Co(II) > Ca(II) > Cu(II). The possible application of the above systems for environmental decontamination of organophosphates is discussed. Copyright © 2005 Taylor & Francis, Inc.	en
