Abstract

Radiolysis of dichloromethane (DCM) leads to formation of primary oxidizing radicals and carbon-centered radicals. The latter react with oxygen to yield peroxyl radicals. The yields and chemical behavior of these intermediates were studied by pulse radiolysis of DCM solutions containing various solutes: phenols, anilines, dimethoxybenzene, hexamethylbenzene, cyclohexene, dimethyl sulfoxide, and zinc tetratolylporphyrin. At low ...
