Abstract

Pertluorobutylperoxyl radicals were produced by pulse radiolysis of aerated solutions of perfluorobutyl iodide. The rate constants for reaction of this radical with several organic reductants, chlorpromazine, trolox, hydroquinone, and several other phenols, were determined in various solvents and were found to be in the range of 105-109 MI sl. By comparison with other haloalkylperoxyl radicals, C4F900'was found to be a much more ...
