Am. Nazarov et al., Thermal decomposition of diazocompounds in aerated solutions. Possible realization of a quantum-chain process, REACT KIN C, 68(2), 1999, pp. 299-305
Thermal decomposition (85 degrees (N) over tilde;, o-C6H4Cl2, O-2) of RN2 d
iazocompounds (R-Ph2C (I), p-Cl-Ph(Ph)C (II), (p-Me2N-Ph)(2)C (III), Me(Ph)
C (IV), fluorenylidene Fl (V), adamantylidene Ad (VI)) is accompanied with
chemiluminescence (CL) in the visible region of spectrum. The effect of exp
erimental conditions on CL intensity was studied, as well as the decomposit
ion kinetics of RN2. In (IV) the rate constant of the process was found to
depend on the initial concentration of RN2, which is caused by quantum-chai
n consumption of the diazocompound.
