Notes:
The rate constant for the bimolecular combination of benzyl radicals in cyclohexane and toluene is determined as a function of temperature. Further, it is studied in cyclohexane-toluene mixtures of different compositions. In the entire range covered, 9.8 × 108 ≤ 2kt ≤ 9.0 × 109M-1·sec-1, the data are very well described by the Smoluchowski equation for a diffusion-controlled reaction to ground-state products using a spin statistical factor of 1/4, a temperature- and solvent-independent reaction distance, and the known diffusion coefficient of toluene.
