Experimental conditions are reported for resolving the hyperfine splitting of e.p.r. spectra obtained from the interaction of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons with platinum oxide. By contrast with earlier interpretations where only a singlet was obtained even with perylene, the present results indicate that the adsorbed species are radical cations.

AbstractThe photoelectron (PE) spectra of bis(dialkylamino) acetylenes R2N-C≡C-NR2 and of tetrakis(dialkylamino) allenes (R2N)2C=C=C(NR2)2 with R = CH3, C2H5 exhibit characteristic ionization patterns which are assigned to π radical cation states of the two molecular halves twisted against each other. The low first ionization potentials between 7.0 eV and 7.7 eV stimu­lated attempts to oxidize using AlCl3 in H2CCl2 or D2CCl2. The hyperfine structured ESR spectra observed can be unequivocally assigned to the ethylene radical cations R2N-HC=CH -NR2˙⊕ which are formed from the obviously non-persistent species R2N-C≡C-NR2˙⊕ via a hydrogen transfer. During the oxidation of the dialkylamino-substituted allenes no paramagnetic intermedi­ates could be detected, presumably due to a rapid dimerisation of the allene radical cation (R2N)2C=C=C(NR2)2˙⊕.

Carbon–carbon bond cleavage of the radical cations of 1-butene [Formula: see text] and 4,4-dimethyl-1-pentene [Formula: see text] will generate the allyl and alkyl radical and carbocation fragments. Alternative bonding arrangements between the allyl and methyl moieties in [Formula: see text] and between the allyl and tert-butyl moieties in [Formula: see text] possible metastable intermediates or transition states preceding complete separation of the fragments, have been investigated by ab initio molecular orbital calculations. Structures were fully optimized at the UHF/6-31G* or UHF/STO-3G levels, and some of the calculations on [Formula: see text] were expanded with single point MP2/6-31G*//UHF/6-31G* computations. The C4H8+ radical cation, having a structure similar to that of 1-butene, is more stable than the separated fragments: 183 kj mol−1 lower in energy than the sum of the energies of the allyl cation and the methyl radical, and 385 kJ mol−1 lower than the sum of the energies of an allyl radical and a methyl cation, at the MP2/6-31G* level. The corresponding values at the UHF/STO-3G level are 276 and 415 kj mol−1, respectively. There is less bonding interaction between the allyl and tert-butyl moieties in [Formula: see text] The summation of the energies of the allyl radical and tert-butyl cation is 123 kj mol−1 lower than the summation of the energies of the allyl cation and tert-butyl radical, and 115 kJ mol−1 higher in energy than the bonded radical cation [Formula: see text] at the UHF/STO-3G level. These calculated values are compared with thermochemical data and with experimental results on the cleavage of these, and related, radical cations. Key words: radical cation, cleavage, ab initio calculations, electron transfer, photochemistry.

The reactivity of the radical cations of methyl 2,2-diphenylcyclohexyl ether (7), 6,6-diphenyl-1,4-dioxaspiro[4.5]decane (8), methyl cis- and trans-2-phenylcyclohexyl ether (9cis and trans), and 6-phenyl-1,4-dioxaspiro[4.5]decane (10), generated by photosensitized (electron transfer) irradiation, has been studied. Solutions of the ethers and acetals in acetonitrile–methanol (3:1), with 1,4-dicyanobenzene (2) serving as the electron acceptor, were irradiated with a medium-pressure mercury vapour lamp through Pyrex. The diphenyl derivatives 7 and 8 were reactive; 7 gave 6,6-diphenylhexanal dimethyl acetal (11) and 8 gave 2-methoxy-2-(5,5-diphenylpentyl)-1,3-dioxolane (12). These are the products expected from the intermediate 1,6-radical cation, formed upon carbon–carbon bond cleavage of the cyclic radical cation. The monophenyl derivatives 9cis and trans and 10 were stable under these irradiation conditions. The mechanism for the carbon–carbon bond cleavage and for the cis–trans isomerization is discussed. An explanation, based upon conformation, is offered for the lack of reactivity of 9 and 10. Molecular mechanics (MM2) calculations were used to determine the preferred conformation of 9cis and trans, and 10. Key words: photosensitization, electron transfer, radical cation, carbon–carbon bond cleavage, conformation.
