Autoxidation catalysis with N-hydroxyimides: more-reactive radicals or just more radicals?

Phys Chem Chem Phys. 2007 Feb 14;9(6):686-90. doi: 10.1039/b616392k. Epub 2007 Jan 2.

Abstract

A first-principles analysis reveals that the catalytic efficiency of nitroxyl radicals in alkane oxidations is not simply correlated with their reactivity toward the substrate.
