Abstract

Absolute rate constants have been measured for the reactions of trichloromethylperoxyl radicals with cyclohexane, cyclohexene, and hexamethylbenzene. The CCl3O2 radicals were produced by pulse radiolysis of air‐saturated CCl4 solutions containing various amounts of the hydrocarbons. The rate constants were determined by competition with the one‐electron oxidation of metalloporphyrins, using the rate of formation of the metalloporphyrin radical cation absorption to monitor the reaction by kinetic spectrophotometry. The rate constants for hydrogen abstraction from cyclohexane, cyclohexene, and hexamethylbenzene were found to be 1 × 103, 1.0 × 105, and 7.5 × 104 M−1 s−1, respectively.
