In this communication, we report the straightforward<br>synthesis of unprecedented electron-acceptors based on dicationic P-containing PAHs (Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons) where two phosphoniums are connected through various PAHs backbones. The impact of pi-extension on both the optical and redox properties is investigated using a joint experimental/theoretical approach.<br>Finally, (spectro)-electrochemical studies prove that these<br>compounds possess three redox states and EPR studies confirms the in situ formation of an organic radical.

ABSTRACTThe combined influence of gamma radiation (10 Gy/h) and high temperature (150 °C) on the corrosion of the promising HLW container material Ti99.8-Pd was investigated in an MgCl2-rich brine, and the corrosion surface films formed were characterized by XPS. For comparison, specimens without irradiation were also examined.Under the test conditions used, the alloy Ti99.8-Pd is resistant to local corrosion and its general corrosion is negligible low. The thin corrosion films formed on the surface of unirradiated specimens and in the crevices of specimens exposed to radiation consist of TiO2. However, outside the crevices of irradiated specimens, a surface layer consisting of Mg (main component of the brine) and Si (impurity in the brine) oxide is built up over the TiO2 layer. Comparable TiO2 layer thicknesses (30 - 65 nm, depending on the experimental conditions) are found for unirradiated and irradiated laboratory specimens. The TiO2 layer formed on the in-situ corrosion specimens (33 nm / 5.3 years) is thinner than that of the laboratory specimens (58 nm / 191 days) indicating less aggressive conditions in the field experiments. In view of these results, the alloy Ti99.8-Pd continues to be considered as a strong candidate container material and will be further investigated.
