A closer look at a gateway reaction for soot formation
Post, October 13, 2026 • The formation of the first aromatic ring is a crucial step in the production of soot from combustion of aliphatic fuels. As a long history of CRF research shows, reactions of resonance-stabilized radicals, especially the propargyl radical, are key participants in that step. CRF researcher Nils Hansen, together with colleagues...
