  30. +Z h A A* R RZ stable product Identification of short-lived reactive intermediates 2. Chemical methods - chemical trapping Scavenger (Z) of free radicals: - does not absorb excitation light - selectively react with R with a large rate - does not react with A, A* and RZ - does not affect the mechanism of RZ formation - form RZ easy to detect. Typical scavengers: O2, alkenes, RNO, I2
