Kinetics of the thermal decomposition of bis(trifluoromethyl) peroxydicarbonate,CF3OC(O)OOC(O)OCF3

Thermal decomposition of bis(trifluoromethyl) peroxydicarbonate has been studied. The mechanism of decomposition is a simple bond fission, homogeneous first‐order process when the reaction is carried out in the presence of inert gases such as N₂ or CO. An activation energy of 28.5 kcal mol^?1 was determined for the temperature range of 50–90°C. Decomposition is accelerated by nitric oxide because of a chemical attack on the peroxide forming substances different from those formed with N₂ or CO. An interpretation on the influence of the substituents in different peroxides on the O? O bond is given. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Chem Kinet 35: 15–19, 2003

Reaction Medium and Kinetics of N-Vinylsuccinimide Copolymerization

Studies in the field of radical copolymerization of N-vinylsuccinimide were summarized, theeffect of the reaction medium on the process kinetics was examined. Factors governing the relative activity ofthe monomers were revealed, and ways to control the reactivity of N-vinylsuccinimide in binary copolymerizations were suggested.
