Abstract. The UV-visible absorption spectrum of gaseous IONO2 has been measured over the wavelength range 245--415 nm using the technique of laser photolysis with time-resolved UV-visible absorption spectroscopy. IONO2 was produced in situ in the gas phase by laser flash photolysis of NO2/CF3I/N2 mixtures. Post flash spectra were deconvolved to remove contributions to the observed absorption from other reactant and product species. The resulting spectrum attributed to IONO2 consists of several overlapping broad absorption bands. Assuming a quantum yield of unity for IONO2 photolysis, model calculations show that during sunlit hours at noon, 53° N, the first order solar photolysis rate coefficient (J value) for IONO2 is 4.0 x 10-2 s-1.

Benzyl (4-MeO, 4-Me, and 4-methoxy-1-naphthylmethyl), phenethyl (4-Me2N, 4-MeO, 3,4-(MeO)2, 4-Me, 3-Me, 4-F, 3-MeO, 2,6-Me2, parent, and 4-methoxy-1-naphthylethyl) and cumyl (4-Me2N, 4-MeO, 4-Me, parent) cations have been studied by laser flash photolysis (LFP) in 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol (TFE) and 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP). In most cases styrene or α-methylstyrene precursors were employed for the phenethyl and cumyl ions, the intermediate being obtained by solvent protonation of the excited state. Benzyl cations were generated by photoheterolysis of trimethylammonium and chloride precursors. While a 4-MeO substituent provides sufficient stabilization to permit observation of cations in TFE, cations with less stabilizing substituents usually require the less nucleophilic HFIP. Even in this solvent, the parent benzyl cation is too short-lived (lifetime <20 ns) to be observed. When generated in HFIP, phenethyl cations can be seen to react with unphotolyzed styrene, giving rise to dimer cations that are observed to grow in as the initial phenethyl cation decays. The dimer cations, in common with the oligomer cations seen in cationic styrene polymerization, have a λmax 15-20 nm higher than the monomer and react with both solvent and styrene several orders of magnitude more slowly. This stabilization relative to the phenethyl may reflect an interaction with the aryl group present at the gamma-carbon. Cations 4-MeOC6H4C+(R)-CH3 (R = Me, Et, i-Pr, t-Bu, cyclopropyl, C6H5, 4-MeOC6H4) were generated in TFE via the photoprotonation route. The alkyl series shows that steric effects are important in the decay reaction. The cation with R = cyclopropyl is a factor of 1.5 less reactive than the cation where R = phenyl. Several vinyl cations have also been generated by photoprotonation of phenylacetylenes. ArC+=CH2 has a reactivity very similar to that of its analog ArC+H-CH3, the vinyl cation being slightly (factors of 2-5) shorter-lived. For the various series of cations, including vinyl, substituents in the aryl ring have a consistent effect on the λmax, a shift to higher wavelength relative to hydrogen of 15 nm for 4-Me, 30 nm for 4-MeO, and 50 nm for 4-Me2N.Key words: photogenerated carbocations, carbocation lifetime, styrene, photoprotonation.
