Why is it important?

The received simple kinetic equations allow to describe the experimental non-monotonic (with a maximum) dependencies of the formation rates of the products on the concentration of the unsaturated component in binary systems consisting of a saturated component (hydrocarbon, alcohol, etc.) and an unsaturated component (alkene, allyl alcohol, formaldehyde, or dioxygen). The unsaturated compound in these systems is both a reactant and an auto-inhibitor generating low-reactive free radicals.

Perspectives

The optimum concentration of unsaturated component in the binary reaction system at which the process rate is maximal can be derived with the help of obtained kinetic equations. This opens a way to intensification of some technological processes that are based on the addition of free radicals to the double bonds of unsaturated molecules and occur via a non-branched-chain mechanism through the formation of 1:1 adducts.
