Abstract
The stages of the generation and loss of CH/sub 3/O/sub 2/, C/sub 3/H/sub 5/O/sub 2/, and C/sub 4/H/sub 9/O/sub 2/ radicals in the decomposition of CH/sub 3/I, (C/sub 3/H/sub 5/)/sub 2/, C/sub 4/H/sub 9/Br, C/sub 4/H/sub 9/Cl, and C/sub 4/H/sub 9/I, respectively, have been studied in the presence of oxygen on Ag/pumice. Effective energies of activation for generation of these radicals have been calculated. It has been found that heterogeneously catalyzed decomposition of these compounds begins on the silver surface at low temperatures (400-590 K) and is accompanied by desorption of the radicals from the surface of the catalyst to the gas phase. It has also been demonstrated that in the indicated temperature range on the silver catalyst allyl peroxy radicals are stable, bu that the CH/sub 3/O/sub 2/ and C/sub 4/H/sub 9/O/sub 2/ radicals disappear to a small extent (10 and 23%, respectively).
