Peroxyl Radical Kinetics

Peroxyl radials (ROO) are important reactive intermediates in organic and biological oxidations, and in atmospheric chemistry, which are formed by the addition of oxygen to alkyl radicals. Fast kinetic techniques initiated by radiolysis or photolysis have been used to obtain absolute rate constants for reactions of alkylperoxyl and substituted alkylperoxyl radicals. Rate constants in aqueous and nonaqueous fluid solution have been compiled from the literature through 1989.

Recent data have been compiled and evaluated and added, along with these data, to the NDRL/NIST Solution Kinetics Database.
