Abstract
The infrared spectrum of the t‐butyl radical isolated in an argon matrix was obtained by gas phase pyrolysis of azoisobutane and 2‐nitrosoisobutane. The infrared spectrum is consistent with a C3v structure for the radical. The data obtained from the matrix isolation studies were used to reassess the ΔH°f,300 for the radical.Keywords
