Radiolysis of dichloromethane (DCM) leads to formation of primary oxidizing radicals and carbon-centered radicals.The latter react with oxygen to yield peroxyl radicals.The yields and chemical behavior of these intermediates were studied by pulse radiolysis of DCM solutions containing various solutes: phenols, anilines, dimethoxybenzene, hexamethylbenzene,cyclohexene, dimethyl sulfoxide, and zinc tetratolylporphyrin.At low concentrations, some of these solutes were found to be oxidized by two peroxyl radicals, CH2ClO2* and CHCl2O2*, with different rate constants.At higher concentrations, the solutes react also with the primary radicals: Cl atoms and the radical cations CH2Cl2(+*), with diffusion-controlled rate constants.The rates of these reactions were determined by competition kinetics because of the very short lifetimes of the species.Cl atoms were found to have a half-life of about 5 ns in DCM, reacting predominantly with the solvent by hydrogen abstraction.The radical cations decay within a fraction of a nanosecond.The total yield of these primary radicals was determined to be G = 3.6 and appears to be divided about equally between Cl and the radical cations.The total yield of oxidation, by the primary and the peroxyl radicals, was found to be G = 7.5.Cl atoms were found to be very reactive in electron transfer as well as addition and hydrogen abstraction reactions.
Rate Constants for Reduction of substituted Methylperoxyl Radicals by Ascorbate Ions and N,N,N',N'-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine

Absolute rate constants (k) for reduction of substituted methylperoxyl radicals by ascorbate ions and by TMPD (N,N,N',N'-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine) in aqueous solutions have been determined by pulse radiolysis.The rate constants vary from 1E6 to 1E9 M-1 s-1, increasing as the electron-withdraving capacity of the substituent on the peroxyl group increases.Linear correlations are observed between log k and the Taft substituents ?* for a wide variety of substituents, but not all substituents fit the same line.In the case of ascorbate as reductant, the points for peroxyl radicals that contain halogens on the α-carbon lie on a different line (ρ*=0.41) than that for the other substituents (ρ*=1.25).In the case of TMPD there are alsotwo families of peroxyl radicals: Those comprimising the electron-donating groups Me through t-Bu (ρ=5.6) and those containing electron-withdrawing substituents (ρ*=0.64).
