Abstract: | The infrared spectra of peroxoesters based on tert-butyl hydroperoxide and aliphatic acids, tert-butyl peroxobenzoate, and their nonperoxo analogs have been studied. The observed absorption bands have been assigned to the vibrations of individual bonds, the characteristic features of the structure of the peroxoester molecules have been investigated, and the force constants have been calculated. A set of absorption bands suitable for the identification and analysis of tert-butyl peroxoesters based on aliphatic acids has been proposed. |
