Radical reaction rates

Free-radical reaction rates of maleic anhydride and its derivatives depend on polar and steric factors. Substituents added to maleic anhydride that decrease planarity of the transition state decrease the reaction rate. The reactivity decreases in the order maleic anhydride > fumarate ester > maleate ester.

The present status of the field effects may be summarized as follows both the high nuclear charge and paramagnetic effects seem to be well-established for spectroscopic transitions,449 463 but neither of them has been demonstrated unambiguously for radical reaction rates.

Throughout this work, we will refer to the heats of reactions and the methods used for the kinetic determinations. We have collected background information for discussion in this section. A list of important bond dissociation energies is followed by brief descriptions of the more important kinetic methods used for determining radical reaction rate constants discussed in this review.
