But double hydrogen bonding of (Z) isomerinhibits decomposition, unlike single H-bond (Dibble 1999) in first generation alkoxy radicals.

NomenclatureWe identify oxygen atoms by the number (in isoprene) of the

carbon atom to which it is bound. The O atom acting as ahydrogen bond donor is to the left of an arrow, the acceptor

is to the right.
