Transient Photochemistry of Nitrobenzene and Nitronaphthalenes

  • Chapter
Advances in Chemical Reaction Dynamics

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((ASIC,volume 184))

Abstract

Conventional flash photolysis of nitrobenzene and 1- and 2- nitronaphthalenes produces their respective radical anions in deaerated triethylamine-acetonitrile solutions. In deaerated tri- ethylamine-nonpolar media, instead of the radical anion, their respective protonated neutral radicals are formed. 1-Nitronaphthalene yields in deaerated pure alcohols the neutral radical and the radical anion in deaerated alkaline alcohols. The transient absorption spectra of these species are presented. These transients, with the exception of neutral 1-nitronaphthalene radical in pure alcohols (where it decays via first order kinetics), decay via second order kinetics. The measured rate constants for their decay are given. Possible mechanism for the formation of these transient species is discussed.
