Oxidative reactivity study of 3 in CD₃CN at 10 °C. The solid line represents the best linear fit correlating the log k₂′ values for the reactions of hydrocarbons with 3 (■) with their C-H bond dissociation energies. k₂′ is the normalized second order rate constant (second order rate constant k₂ divided by the number of equivalent C-H bonds on the substrate that may be attacked by 3). For MeOH and t-BuOH, the filled circles (●) represent the values assuming that a C-H bond is attacked. D_C-H values were obtained from refs ¹⁸, ²⁴ and ³⁹.
