Kinetic and spectroscopic study of C2H5C(O)O-2 radicals using laser flash photolysis and UV absorption spectrometry
Rate constant for the self-combination reaction of the propionylperoxy radical was measured at room temperature using laser photolysis -transient absorption technique. The observed rate coefficient is (1.44 +/- 0.14)x10(-11) cm(3) molecule(-1) s(-1) at 298 K.
