The recent paper of Choo and Benson [l] prompted us to communicate our most recent results for the gas-phase decomposition of the t-butoxy radical. The method we have used was to decompose ditertiary butyl peroxide (-10-5M) in the presence of nitric oxide (-10-5M) and inert gas (25-1500 torr) in a s

โฆ Synopsis
The preceding paper describes the reanalysis by Kerr and Parsonage (following discussions with one of us, H.W.S.) of some of our published work. We are grateful to Dr. Kerr for communicating their conclusions to us. We agree in principle with their analysis, and the present communication is to report our acceptance of their ideas and to give a more complete recalculation of earlier work using unpublished data not available to them. T o briefly restate the problem: in a series of kinetic studies involving trichloromethyl radicals produced by the photolysis of bromotrichloromethane, we used a rate expression involving +Za 11-61:
