EPR studies on the kinetics of the α-hydroxyethyl radical generated by Fenton-like chemistry

It is shown that EPR spectroscopy in combination with a mixing resonator enables to unravel reaction dynamics in the millisecond to sub-millisecond regime in a sensitive and direct way. This approach is then used to follow the kinetics of the Fenton-like system TiCl3/H2O2 and ethanol forming the a-hydroxyethyl radical.208
