It has been found that the decay in dimethylformamide and dimethylformamide-water mixtures of radical anions in five of the investigated 5-nitrofurans is governed by a second-order reaction. Only the decay of the radical anion generated from 5-nitro-2-furfural III may be described by an equation including parallel first- and second-order reactions; this behaviour is evidently caused by the relatively high stability of the corresponding dianion, this being an intermediate in the reaction path. The presence of a larger conjugated system in the substituent in position 2 results in a decrease of the unpaired electron density in the nitro group and, consequently, an increase in the stability of the corresponding radical anions.

Transient disulfide radical anions have been produced by flash photolysis. Cyclic anions decay only by second order reaction as opposed to the first order decay found for linear ones at low concentration. Linear disulfides, except oxidized penicillamine, increase the rate of decay of the cystine radical anion. The pH dependence of the reaction with cystine suggests that the disulfide radical anion is an electrophile.

The reaction between hexamethylenediisocyanate and 1-pentanol in toluene was studied by means of reversed-phase liquid chromatography. By employing this method, it was possible to determine all components of the reaction mixture including both products, i.e. N-(6-isocyanate hexyl)pentylcarbamate and N,N'-bis(pentyloxycarbonyl)hexamethylenediamine. Relations for the calculation of kinetic constants were derived assuming a competitive consecutive second-order reaction. It was demonstrated that the reaction involved in this case is indeed a second-order reaction, and the rate constants of the first and second consecutive reactions were determined.

Certain features of RNA–DNA hybridization can be accounted for in terms of second-order-reaction theory. These include the use of annealing kinetics to estimate RNA complexity and the occurrence of approximately linear double-reciprocal plots.
