Abstract
The ionization potentials of methyl, allyl, and benzyl radicals have been measured directly by electron impact. The values found were methyl 9.95±0.03 ev, allyl 8,16±0.03 ev, and benzyl 7.73±0.08 ev. The radicals were produced by thermal decomposition of suitable compounds in a mass spectrometer designed for the study of free radicals. Reactions of the radicals after formation led to the expected dimers, but the disproportionation reactions were found to be negligibly slow.
