Abstract

Free radicals are generated in liquid solutions by harmonically modulated photolysis of suitable substrates. Harmonic analysis of the absorbance as functions of wavelength and modulation frequency yields the optical spectra and the decay kinetics of the transient species. The experimental technique and the analysis are described in detail. Results on t‐butyl, 2‐propyl and benzyl radicals generated by photolysis of the corresponding dialkyl resp. dibenzyl ketones are reported. They confirm previous spectral assignments and show that the termination reactions are diffusion controlled.
