59. relax for the azoalkanes remains relatively constant (ca. 10 kcal/mol). That the peroxide data fall on the "low-relaxation" line despite their relatively high relaxation energies (compared to the alkylated benzenes and fused hydrocarbons) may be in part due to the counteracting solvent effect (choice of methylene chloride), as was originally suspected (ref 9).
