Radiation-induced adducts structure

Radicals with undefined stoichiometry or structure refer to radicals which either result from radical-molecule reactions in which species with more than one radical site are formed, or the stoichiometry of which is essentially given by a distribution function as in polymer systems. Most of the former result from radiation-chemically induced processes, and the radicals generated in the reaction of OH radicals with substrates, for example, are listed as (substrate—OH ). A radical adduct is similarly indicated as substrate -R, e.g. toluene —CH3 denotes a CHj radical adduct to toluene. The other type of radicals is referred to by writing the parent compound in parentheses, e.g. (polyvinylacetate). ...
