Infrared matrix isolation studies on the t-butyl radical
Abstract
The infrared spectrum of the t-butyl radical isolated in an argon matrix was obtained by gas phase pyrolysis of azoisobutane and 2-nitrosoisobutane. The infrared spectrum is consistent with a C3v, structure for the radical. The data obtained from the matrix isolation studies were used to reassess the ΔH. 300 for the radical. © 1981 American Institute of Physics.
