Ultraviolet absorption cross sections and reaction kinetics and mechanisms for peroxy radicals in the gas phase
Article Abstract:
The chemical reaction rates and reaction patterns of alkyl peroxy radicals in the gas phase were studied using the ultraviolet (UV) absorption spectra of individual peroxy radicals and their interactions. The kinetic results from the decay of peroxy radicals confirmed the occurrence of radical cross reactions and self-reactions. Moreover, most of the generated figures from the absorption spectra gave UV shapes lacking in specific symmetry. In addition, temperature and pressure affected the kinetics and mechanisms of several peroxy radical reactions.

Mechanisms of reductive nitrosylation in iron and copper models relevant to biological systems
Article Abstract:
A study aims to examine the details of reductive nitrosylation mechanisms that are described for iron and copper models and proteins and compare such studies with other compounds that are quantitatively investigated. Reductive nitrosylation under conditions where nitrite is the product, is the reverse of nitrite reduction, a reaction that has considerable importance to the biological nitrogen cycle and is catalyzed in certain anaerobic bacteria by nitrite reductases (NIR).
