| has gloss | eng: In chemistry, a radical clock is a chemical compound that assists in the indirect methodology to determine the kinetics of a free-radical reaction. This involves a unimolecular radical reaction with a known rate constant competing against a bimolecular radical reaction with an unknown rate constant to form unrearranged and rearranged products. With the ratio of the products, reactant concentrations and known rate constant for the clock reaction, the unknown rate constant can be determined. |
