Abstract
Ab initio STO‐3__G__ calculations show that α‐cyano‐ and α‐isocyano‐substitution on carbanions produce a significant approximately equal stabilization of these charged species. Evidence is presented which suggests that the mechanism of such stabilization is qualitatively different for the cyano and isocyano substituents. The former appears to act through an electron delocalization process while the latter may operate by an inductive effect.

The 147 nm photolysis of 3,3 dimethylbut-l-ene leads mainly to the formation of very hot ( ~3 7 5 kJ/mol) a,a-dimethallyl radicals. On the other hand, that of 3-methyl-cisand trans-pentene-2, as well as that of 2,3-dimethylbut-l-ene is a source of very hot a$-dimethallyl radicals. These allylic radi
Three aryloxy (alkoxy) ␣-substituted phthalocyaninatoirons (FePcs) were prepared and their UV-vis spectra in air or by adding of peroxide showed a new band at the red side of the Q band which can be assigned to a complexes of phthalocyaninatoirons with oxygen or peroxide. The appearance of this band
