The ESR spectra of radical cations of cis-and trans-deealin have been recorded in different halocarbon matrices within the temperature range 4.2 IO 130 K. The ground-state structures of both isomers have been calculated using the UHF/MNDO technique and found to be 'As or ZB, for transdecalin+ and 'A

β¦ Synopsis
The radical cations ofcis-and transdecalin have been studied in different synthetic zeolite matrices by EPR spectroscopy. The radical cations were produced by y-radiolysis at 77 K. The tirst experimental observation of both the electronic states (2Al : a(4H)=50 G and *A$ a(4H)=29 G) of the cis-decalin radical cation is reported. The 'A, and *A2 states were observed at different temperatures in silicalite S-l IS. In ZSM-34 and Na-ll-5 one species was observed preferentially, while in offretite a fast exchange between the two states was observed. In Na-Y and Na-X the 2A2 state was the principal species observed. In addition, the bridge-head neutral radical species resulting from ion-molecule reactions was observed. For trans-decalin+', the *A, was observed in ZSM-34, and the *B, state was observed in Na-R-5. In silicalite, only the *A, state was observed at low temperature. The results for cis-and trans-decalin+' in offretite, Na-Y and Na-X were similar. The stabilization of radical cations via matrix interactions is discussed.

## Abstract The Οβionization energies of the diβtβbutylpolyacetylenes with two, three, four and five conjugated triple bonds have been determined by He (IΞ±) photoelectron spectroscopy.
