SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE:
Nitroxides, when used as solvents, promote the homolysis of a variety of weak bonds. Strong chemical evidence for the formation of free radicals is confirmed by e.s.r. studies in which the formation of free radicals has been monitored. This fission of single bonds of solute molecules dissolved in solvents with unpaired electrons is called homosolvolysis, in contrast to the common bond fission observed in polar solvents which is called heterosolvolysis.
