Abstract

Abstract: The formation of radicals by a “spontaneous” reaction between nitroso compounds and certain organic materials has often been reported in the literature and has generally been ascribed to a process of molecule assisted homolysis (MAH). Some selected ': spontaneous” radical-forming processes involving trifluoronitrosomethane, nitrosobenzene, and 2, 4, 6-trichloronitrosobenzene have been reexamined. In many cases it has been ...
