RADICAL-RADICAL REACTIONS — These illustrations show the
interaction potentials between:
- two
methyl radicals (upper left),
- methyl and ethyl radicals (upper right),
- methyl and /iso/-propyl radicals (lower left)
- and methyl and /tert/-butyl radicals (lower right).
The attractive interactions are depicted with blue and repulsive
with red. Larger attractive interactions result in faster radical-radical
reactions.
