✦ Synopsis
The rate constant for the mutual termination reaction of r-butyl radicals in solution has been measured by kinetic ESR spectroscopy and is (11.1 f 3.4) X IO9 hl-' set-' over the temperature range from 220 to 330°K. Azoisobutane was shown to be unsuitable as a photo-initiator in the eltperiments because the formation of the thermally unstable cis-isomer during photolysis led to erroneous values of the rate constant.
