Abstract
Aqueous solutions of glycine and acetate have been pulse irradiated in the presence of O2. Radicals produced from these compounds by H abstraction reacted with O2 to form peroxy radicals. The reaction rate constants k(RH+O2) = (2.1 ± 0.3) × 109 and ≃ 1 × 109 M-1 s-1 were measured for RH = acetate radicals and glycine radicals, at pH 8.2 and 7.9, respectively. The peroxyacetate radicals decay by a second-order reaction, k = (6.5 ± 1) × 108 M-1 s-1 at both pH 5.7 and 8.2. The peroxyglycine radicals produce O2- by a first-order process, k = (1.5 ± 0.3) × 105 s-1 at pH 7.9. Evidence for the formation of O2- from peroxy glycine radicals is presented.
