Conclusions

  1. 1.

    ESR signals for the dehydroascorbic acid radical-anions (D) resulting from the interaction of AA with aqua ions and mono- and bis-α,α′-dipiridyl (dipy) complexes of Cu2+ have been recorded in a streaming system.

  2. 2.

    An expression for the rate of generation of D has been obtained, the mechanism of destruction of radicals had been established, and rate constants for the reaction of D with Cu2, Cu2+dipy2, and Cu+ have been determined.

  3. 3.

    Study has been made of the affect of acetonitrile on formation and destruction of radicals.
