✦ Synopsis

Approach of a a-radical in a direction perpendicular to the molecular axis of oxygen involves the corrccl symmetry but does not appear to be as successful as direct n-rt overlap. This mechanism may atso account for the addition of oxygen to the aeetyl radical where the spin density in the a-orbital is reduced by localization of the free electron on the oxygen atom and spin polarization of the C-O n-bond produces a net positive spin density in the n-system at the carbon atom and negative spin density at the oxygen atom t'u'. Another a-radical which does not appear lo fit in with the above scheme is the hydrogen atom n but the mechanism of the formation of HO~ is complicated by the effect of the third body which is nol fully understood ~' ~.
