Rate constants for the bimolecular self‐reaction of cyano‐substituted alkyl radicals in solution

Abstract: Cyano-substituted methyl radicals (cyanomethyl-and 2-cyano-2-propyl radicals) and synand anti-1-cyano-ally1 radicals were generated, and their recombination kinetics in solution were investigated between -50 and +5OoC by time-resolved electron-spin-resonance spectroscopy. The comparison of the activation energies for recombination with the activation energies of the solution viscosities proves that the dimerizations of the radicals are diffusion controlled with rate constants on the order of 108-109M-'-s-'.

“…Succinonitrile has been detected in small amounts under these conditions, but this is clearly a minor process 12a. Actually, the steady‐state value of Φ red (SS) in neat MeCN is 0.004, 22 times smaller than the flash photolysis value, indicating that regeneration of TBADT and MeCN (rate constant k ′ bh , see Scheme , right‐hand side) efficiently competes with coupling of the cyanomethyl radicals ( k ′ c = 1.2×10 9 m −1 s −1 ) 25…”

“…Under the steady-state conditions employed, the relationship is K 1 = {[CoR 1 ](2 k T1 ) 1/2 }/{[Co] V 1/2 }, where k T1 is the rate constant for cyanoisopropyl radical termination. Self-termination constants ( k T1 ) for • C(CH 3 ) 2 CN at a series of temperatures were obtained from literature results; k T1 is diffusion-controlled and has been modified for the viscosity of chloroform at the temperatures used in this study.…”

“…This value is logical because k rr represents the reaction between two small‐sized radicals, which are very near after the decomposition of initiator (cage effect). Korth et al56 determined the constant of primary radical deactivation k rr at 60 °C for AIBN. They found a value about 5 · 10 9 L · mol −1 s −1 .…”
