For the first time, CH-acids, which include oxygen–oxygen bonds, are discussed as sources of free radicals, and their acid center (carbon atom) is represented by the main reaction center that determines the thermally induced transformation, accompanied by the coordinated (simultaneous) transformation of several bonds. The relationship between the type of hybridization of the acid center and the transformation (homolysis or heterolysis) of the C–H bond upon thermal action on CH-acid has been established. A variant of control of technological processes taking place by a radical mechanism is proposed, taking into account the localization of an unpaired electron in a radical.
T. P. Aleynikova (Wed,) studied this question.
