✦ Synopsis
The thermal decomposition of azoisopropane (AIP) was studied in the presence of various quantities of propylene in the temperature and pressure intervals 498-553 K and 3.33-5.33 kPa. The inhibition functions relating to formation of the products were determined; these proved a good basis for interpretation of the formation of the secondary decompositon products of AIP. The experimental data support the conception that the p p radical-radical reaction Z-C,H, + (CH,)2CH-NxNX(CH3)2 3 [XI occurs. The product of this is not stable; its decomposition is one of the sources of the secondary products. The ratio of the rate constants was determined for the following reactions: (18) (3) 2 2-CsH7 + CeH,, 2-C& + C,H6 + C,!& + C3H5 log(k,,/k;'2 dm3" mol-'" s-"* = (3.4 k 0.3) -(45.2 2 3.3) kJ . mol-'/2.3RT

## Abstract The thermal decompositions of azoethane and azoisopropane were studied in a large excess of ethylene in the temperature interval of 523–623 K. It was demonstrated that under such conditions, the bulk of the alkyl radicals react with ethylene. Via measurements on the consumption of the a
