Abstract

The Arrhenius parameters of the bimolecular rate constants for the decay of several phenoxyl radicals in aqueous solution were measured. The p‐halophenoxyl radicals (F, Cl, and Br) decay in a diffusion controlled reaction as the activation energies are the same as that of diffusion of water (16 ± 1.5 kJ · mol−1). The A factors are 1012.2 ± 0.2. For alkyl and alkoxy substituted phenoxyl, slightly higher activation energies were found (19.5 − 21.9 kJ · mol−1). © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
