Further kinetics studies of intermediates formed by flash photolysis of Mo(CO)6

Kinetics studies of the behavior of Mo(CO)5(CH) in the presence of radical initiators were conducted in cyclohexane (CH) solution by laser flash photolysis with time-resolved infrared detection. Activation parameters were determined for reactions of Mo(CO)5(CH) with toluene and with photochemical radical generator dibenzylketone (DBK) in the presence of excess CO.
