Abstract

Abstract: The visible and W absorptions of a variety of alkoxyl radicals have been examined by experiment and theory. In most solvents, the tert-butoxyl radical shows only a weak" tail- end'absorption in the UV region of the spectrum and no absorption in the visible region. However, a visible absorption band has been observed (Amu= 440 nm) in the presence of 1, 3, 5-trimethoxybenzene. This absorption band provides the first unequivocal evidence for ...
