Abstract

5. Conclusion We have successfully observed and assigned the intermediate radicals produced in the photodecomposition of dibenzoyl peroxides. It is shown that the decarboxylation takes place mostly from the intermediate benzoyloxyl radicals whose lifetimes are in the order of 1 ps at room temperature. It is concluded that the spin states of the intermediate radicals are in thermal equilibrium within 0.5 us after the laser excitation.
