AbstractNTO (5-Nitro-2,4-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazol-3-one)is shown to form aphotochemical free radical in alkaline aqueous solution containing nitromethane (CH3NO2). The NTO free radical can also be produced by chemical reduction of NTO with hydroquinone in alkaline solution. Details of radical formation and assignment of the NTO radical to a nitro anion radical, having the NTO ring intact, are presented.

Peracetic acid (Pa) is now being used for totally chlorine-free delignification and bleaching of wood pulps. During the process, metals desorb from the pulp fibers into the aqueous solution. Of the relevant metals in bleaching systems, cobalt(II) and vanadium(V) are the most potent in wastefully decomposing Pa to O2. In the present study, radical scavenging by N,N'-(5-nitro-1,3-phenylene)-bisglutaramide (GAMID) indicates that free-radical mechanisms are operative. Kinetic data support a free-radical decomposition mechanism previously described for Co(II). A similar type of mechanism, involving VO(OH)2(aq) and VO(OH)3(aq), is postulated to partially explain catalysis by vanadium.Key words: peracetic acid, peroxymonosulfuric acid, transition metals, free radicals, acetoxy radical, peracetoxy radical.

Abstract The problem of rubber reinforcement is of great importance in rubber technology. Free radicals formed during mastication play an important role in the reinforcement of the rubber-filler system. The reinforcement of rubber systems is usually explained in terms of chemical interactions between rubber and filler; however, there are also opinions that the interactions are physical in nature. So far, the mechanism of reinforcement is an open question. Undoubtedly, reinforcement is influenced by free radicals formed during mastication and the physicochemical state of the surface of active fillers. The formation of free radicals during plasticization of rubbers has been already reported. Investigations by an ESR technique of free-radical formation during compounding of rubbers with various carbon blacks are described in the present paper.

Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) quantification of free radicals from different samples facilitates comparison of free radical concentrations. Stable free radicals, such as 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl (TEMPO), in a suitable solvent (e.g., benzene) can be used as a quantification standard. Free radicals found in samples can be shorter lived than radicals in prepared standards and require stabilizing spin-trapping agents such as N-tert-butyl-α-phenylnitrone (PBN) in an appropriate solvent (e.g., benzene). Analysis in our laboratory showed that free radicals from spin-trapped samples quantified against a standard of TEMPO in benzene displayed large differences among identical samples measured on either a Micro-Now 8300, Micro-Now 8400, or Bruker EMX EPR instrument. The Bruker instrument reported that the typical TEMPO in benzene standard had a Q-factor of ∼4400 while the Q-factor of our PBN-containing samples was ∼2500. (The Q-factor is inversely proportional to the amount of dissipated microwave energy in an EPR cavity.) By placing the TEMPO standard in a PBN/benzene solvent matrix we were able to match the Q-factor of our standards and samples, resulting in each of the three EPR instruments giving the same quantified free radical yields for the samples. This result points out the importance of matching the Q-factor between samples and standards for any quantitative EPR measurement.

The work presented illustrates the valuable ways that spin-trapping and nitoxyl free radical chemistry has helped us in gaining a better view of the nature of certain biological processes and thus, hopefully, will help to disentangle the principles governing the causes of certain diseases.
