Decay of Peroxy Radicals of Methanol and Isopropanol in the Presence of Copper Ions and Superoxide Dismutase. Progress Report, December 1, 1978--November 30, 1979

摘要

The decay of the peroxy radicals produced from methanol and isopropanol was followed in the presence and in the absence of Cu exp 2+ ions, and the enzyme Superoxide Dismutase. The results indicate that both Cu exp 2+ and Superoxide do not affect the decay of the alcohol peroxy radicals. They catalyze the decay of O exp -2 radicals which are formed from the alcoholic peroxy radicals, and which absorb light at the same wavelengths region as these radicals. This catalysis enables the resolution of the decay of the alcoholic peroxy radicals, without the interference of absorption changes originating in the decay of HO sub 2 and O exp -2 radicals.
