Abstract

Abstract The thermal and photochemical decompositions of dialkyltelluriums and dialkylditelluriums in t-butylbenzene solvent have been studied by, EPR spectroscopy. On photolysis, di-t-butyl, diallyl, allyl methyl, and dibenzyl tellurium showed EPR spectra of t- butyl, allyl, allyl, and benzyl radicals respectively. Alkyl radicals were not detected directly on thermolysis in the range 300–370 K but, primary, secondary, and tertiary alkyl, benzyl and ...
