The benzene dimer cation, which is prorotypical for dimer radical cations, has been re-investigated computationally. Thereby it was found that it exists in the form of two distinct, but energetically very close-lying “electromers” which both reside on very flat potential surfaces.

A time resolved resonance Raman (TR3) study of 1-nitronaphthalene (1NN) first triplet excited state in various solvents is combined with ab initio calculations to determine the nature and the geometry of this state in environments of different polarity. A transient absorption and TR3 study of the reactions of triplet 1NN with trans-stilbene (tS) in solution in both non-polar and polar solvents is reported. In polar solution, 31NN acts as an electron acceptor whereas in non-polar solution only energy transfer to tS is observed. Moreover, at high concentrations of tS, the radical cation tS+ reacts with ground-state tS to form a dimer radical cation (tS2)+. Differences between the Raman spectra of the monomeric and the dimeric radical cations are reported in the 1500–1650 cm-1 region. The switch from energy to electron transfer when going from nonpolar to polar solutions is discussed in terms of the Marcus-Hush theory of electron transfer.

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˙⊕.
