Reaction with chlorine radicals was the only realistic explanation for the hydrocarbon losses. And further investigation confirmed that free chlorine radicals were the cause." The scientists ...

Although chlorine radicals have been established as potent hydrogen-atom abstraction agents in free-radical chlorination reactions and, more recently, in photoredox catalysis, the high reactivity of ...

Chlorine radicals are generated by light irradiation ... industry-scale reactions with reduced environmental impact. Free radicals don't get the best press. However, while they are known as ...
