The elusive diradicals α,2- and α,4-didehydrotoluene 1 and 3, have been generated by photolysis of matrix-isolated 2-iodobenzyl iodide 7 and 4-iodobenzyl iodide 8, respectively. Diradical 3 could also be synthesized by flash vacuum thermolysis of 8, with subsequent trapping of the products in argon at 5 K. The diradicals in their triplet ground states were characterized by electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy. The triplet ground states were in accordance with previous theoretical calculations for these species.

Kinetics Of

Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra were obtained for samples of Ti-doped NaAlH4 subjected to different numbers of cycles of dehydrogenation/re-hydrogenation. Ti is observed to evolve from its initial Ti(III) state through a series of Ti(0) species during the first 5 cycles. Although the conversion of Ti(III) to Ti(0) occurs much more readily for TiCl3-doped samples than those prepared with TiF3, in both cases the evolution of Ti follows the same sequence that involves 3 distinguishable Ti(0) species and ends in the predominance of the same single Ti(0) species. The spectrum of a sample of NaAlH4 containing 2 mol% of cubic Al3Ti is distinctly different than any of those observed for the Ti(0) species that arise during the hydrogen cycling of the hydride. The major changes in the nature of the predominant Ti species have little if any effect on the dehydrogenation kinetics, which strongly suggests that the profoundly enhanced hydrogen cycling kinetics of Ti-doped NaAlH4 are due to a Ti species present in only a relatively minor amount.
