The Mechanism of Chemiluminescence in the Thermal Decomposition of 2,2'-Azodiisobutyronitrile in a Liquid Oxygen-Containing Medium

A mathematical computer model of the detailed mechanism of the chemiluminescent process is developed based on the kinetic data on the nonstationary chemiluminescence accompanying the thermal decomposition of 2,2'-azodiisobutyronitrile in benzene. The model, which includes 16 elementary stages, makes it possible to estimate the rate constants of these reactions and to illustrate the interaction of elementary processes.
