An appreciation of free radical chemistry 6. Experiments involving free radicals

In the previous five parts, we have seen how the ubiquitous free radicals touch our lives in many ways. In this part, four experiments involving free radical intermediates are described. They are very simple, economical and practical, and can be easily carried out in laboratories with meagre resources. They can, therefore, be adapted for MSc chemistry practicals as part of free radical chemistry course.
