“…Zhuravlev and Ivanov 43 proposed the following equation for estimation of the formation rate of polyenes: [5.7] where: α n polyene length factor, w 0 initiation rate, k I double bond formation rate, k l rate of formation of stable products from alkyl radical (end of growth for this site), k l,I rate of formation of stable products from polyene radical (end of growth for this site), k eff rate of polyene propagation.…”
