Abstract

In spite of the observation of 15N nuclear polarisation expected from the separate addition of two NO2˙ radicals in the reaction of nitrogen dioxide with allylbenzene and some other alkenes, kinetic studies indicate that both NO2˙ and N2O4 are reactive species, each leading only to addition products.
