Abstract
The formation of radicals by a "spontaneous" reaction between nitroso compounds and certain organic materials has often been reported in the literature and has generally been ascribed to a process of molecule assisted homolysis (MAH). Some selected "spontaneous" radical-forming processes involving trifluoronitrosomethane, nitrosobenzene, and 2,4,6-trichloronitrosobenzene have been reexamined. In many cases it has been found that the radicals are formed only when the sample is exposed to ordinary laboratory light. It is suggested that the role of light on other "spontaneous" radical-forming reactions should be investigated. © 1981 American Chemical Society.
