N2  - The thermal decomposition of 1,2-diadamantyldioxetane was studied by kinetic and spectroscopic methods. Spectra of the chemiluminescence emitted during the thermally induced decomposition of 1,2-diadamantyldioxetane, tetramethyldioxetane and trimethyldioxetane were obtained and the influence of quenchers and radical-scavengers, and the presence of "heavy atoms" in the surrounding of the emitting species was investigated. The kinetics of the decay mechanism was followed by measuring the time dependence of the chemiluminescence. The influence of radical-scavengers, quenchers and "external heavy atoms" on the kinetics was assessed. Experimental results were discussed in terms of a biradical decay mechanism.
