Conclusions

  1. 1.

    The protonation of anion radicals of nitrobenzene and α-nitronaphthalene was investigated. The reaction proceeds at a very high rate, close to the rate of diffusion, and has a practically zero activation energy.

  2. 2.

    The decomposition of the anion radical of nitro-tert-butane has an activation energy of 18.3 kcal /mole.
