The thermal decomposition of azoisopropane (AIP) was studied in the presence of various quantities of propylene in the temperature and pressure intervals 498–553 K and 3.33–5.33 kPa. The inhibition functions relating to formation of the products were determined; these proved a good basis for interpretation of the formation of the secondary decompositon products of AIP. The experimental data support the conception that the βμ radical—radical reactionoccurs. The product of this is not stable; its decomposition is one of the sources of the secondary products. The ratio of the rate constants was determined for the following reactions:
