Homolysis and acidolysis reactions of (.alpha.-hydroxyalkyl)- and (.alpha.-alkoxyalkyl)chromium(III) complexes: kinetics, steric effects, and bond energies

The rates of homolysis of 12 organochromium complexes were determined by the addition of oxidizing scavengers to prevent recombination of Cr/sup 2 +/ and the carbon-centered radicals. The rate constants for complexes derived from aliphatic alcohols span the range 3.7 x 10/sup -5/to approx. 3 x 10/su...
