The relative rates of chlorine atom abstraction from alkyl chlorides by the trimethylsilyl radical have been studied by a competitive technique between 400 and 580 K in the gas phase. These results have been put on an ...

Trimcthylsilyl radicals have been generated by the mercury photosensitized decomposition of trimcthylsilane. The absolute rate of combination of these radicals has been measured by the classical rotating sector technique ...
