自由基是许多化学转化的关键中间体，它们的反应性包括两个关键步骤：1。通过打破化学键a -B形成自由基，得到两个高活性的自由基a（点）和B（点）。这一步骤是自发发生的，或者通过以热或光的形式应用能量；2. 反应的终止包括在两个相似或不同的自由基之间形成键，a（点）+ B（点）生成a -B。大多数这些自由基反应都含有暂态物质。相反，有一些已知的自由基足够稳定，可以放在架子上的瓶子里。不幸的是，由于它们的稳定性，这些物质中的许多都没有足够的活性来参与一些化学转化。然而，有少数化合物在固体状态下含有弱键或张力键，通过打破元素-元素键在溶液中部分或完全解离。这些形成持久的自由基，即。一种具有很长寿命，但不能“装瓶”的自由基。

Radicals are key intermediates in a number of chemical transformations and their reactivity involves two key steps: 1. Radical formation via breaking of a chemical bond, A-B, to give two highly reactive radical species A(dot) and B(dot). This step occurs spontaneously or through the application of energy in the form of heat or light; 2. Termination of the reaction and this involves the formation of a bond between two similar or dissimilar radicals, A(dot) + B(dot) to give A-B. Most of these radical reactions involve transient species. In contrast, there are some known radicals that are stable enough to be placed in a bottle on the shelf. Unfortunately, because of their stability, many of these species are not reactive enough to participate in a number of chemical transformations. However, there are a handful of compounds that contain weak or strained bonds in the solid state that either partially or fully dissociate in solution through breaking of the element-element bond. These form persistent radicals--i.e. a radical that has a very long lifetime, but is not "bottle-able".
