Mesolysis Mechanisms of Aromatic Thioether Radical Anions Studied by Pulse Radiolysis and DFT Calculations
The mesolysis mechanisms for eight aromatic thioether radical anions (ArCH2SAr′?-) generated during radiolysis in 2-methyltetrahydrofuran were studied by spectroscopic measurements and DFT calculation. Seven of ArCH2SAr′s
CLEVEAGE RATES FOR RADIOLYSIS-PRODUCED RADICAL ANIONS OF NAPHTHYLMETHYL PHENYL ETHERS AND NAPHTHYL BENZYL ETHERS
Cleveage reactions of α- and β-naphthylmethyl phenyl ethers and of α- and β-naphthyl benzyl ethers were studied by pulse radiolysis.Transient spectra indicate that reactions occur via electron capture followed by cleavage of the resultant radical anions to give arylmethyl radicals and aryloxide ions.Product studies of extensively irradiated samples are consistent with this scheme and show patterns which are informative for radiation studies in general.The reactions were studied in several solvents.The behavior of transient spectra obtained in acetonitrile for these ethers shows clearly that radical anions of the naphthylmethyl ethers cleave more rapidly than do the radical anions of the naphthyl benzyl ethers.
