One- and two-electron reduction potentials of peroxyl radicals and related species

Abstract

Utilising gaseous and aqueous thermodynamic quantities, estimates (in water versus NHE) have been made of the one-electron reduction potentials of alkyl peroxyl radicals including CCl₃OO˙, percarboxyl and carboxyl radicals, and alkoxyl radicals, including CCl₃O˙ and two-electron reduction potentials of alkyl hydroperoxides including CCl₃OOH, alkyl peroxyl radicals including CCl₃OO˙ and of percarboxyl radicals.
