Free radical addition to olefins. Part 2.—Addition of trichloromethyl radicals to fluoroethylenes

Abstract

Arrhenius parameters have been determined for the addition of trichloromethyl radicals to fluoroethylenes; for the unsymmetric olefins the parameters have been determined for each end of the double bond. [graphic omitted] The determined activation energies are compared with localization energies, and with free valence as calculated from simple Hückel theory.
