Abstract: | The rate constants and activation energies for homolytic dissociation of 2,2 -di[ ( )-naphthyl]-, 2,2 -diquinolinyl-, and 2,2 -di(9-acridinyl)-4,4 ,5,5 -tetraphenyldiimidazolyls in toluene in the presence of , -diphenyl- -picrylhydrazine were determined. The degrees of dissociation of the diimidazolyls were found. The effect of substituents on the stability of imidazolyl radicals is discussed.See [1] for communication III.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 11, pp. 1536–1539, November, 1974. |
