Efficient oxidation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons with H 2O2 catalyzed by 5,10,15-triarylcorrolatoiron (IV) chloride in ionic liquids

A simple and efficient oxidative system has been developed for the oxidation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons with H2O2 catalyzed by 5,10,15-triarylcorrolatoiron (IV) chloride in mixed reaction media using imidazolium ionic liquids and organic solvents. The coordination effects of different organic solvents as well as anions of ionic liquids on the oxidation reactions have been examined.

Photophysics and Photochemistry of Nitroanthracenes. Part 2. Primary Process in the Photochemical Reaction of 9-Nitroanthracene studied by Steady-state Photolysis and Laser Photolysis

From measurements of phosphorescence and triplet-triplet absorption spectra of the lowest excited triplet ??* state of 9-nitroanthracene (NA) together with the absorption spectrum of 9-anthryloxy radical, it is concluded that photolysis of 9-nitroanthracene gives rise to the nitro -> nitrite rearrangement for a higher excited triplet state of n?* character, followed by the cleavage of 9-anthryl nitrite to 9-anthryloxy radical and nitrogen(II) oxide, yielding 9-anthrol (and anthrone), 10,10'-bianthrone and 9-nitrosoanthrone in ethanol; and 10,10'-bianthrone and 9-nitrosoanthrone in benzene.Hence, the primary process in the photochemical reaction of NA is essentially identical with those of 9-benzoyl-10-nitroanthracene and 9-cyano-10-nitroanthracene except that no 10,10'-bianthrone derivatives are formed.
