β¦ Synopsis
Nanosecond transient absorption studies of the lifetimes (5) of several substituted 1 ,n-diphenyl-1 ,n-diyls are reported in polar and non-polar solvents. A para-bromine substituent significantly shortens r. Substitution of OH in the l-position makes the lifetime highly solvent dependent. The substituent effect and the dependence of r on biradical chain length is discussed in terms of spin-orbit coupling in the biradical.

Five aryl-substituted phenacetyl radicals (X = p-MeO, p-Me, H, p-Cl, p-CF 3 ) were generated by laser photolysis of the corresponding dibenzyl ketones in n-hexane and acetonitrile. The decarbonylation reaction was monitored through the rise in time-resolved absorption of the benzyl radical chromopho
Lanthanide g-diketonates and copper acetylacetonate in benzene quench the methylene-chain-linked triplet biradicals in the presence of magnetic fields. At 0.56 T, the quenching rate constant k, is in the order of IO8 M-' SK' for the former complexes and 4.7 x lo9 M-' s-' for the latter. Dipole-dipol
The pure radiative lifetime of ovalene was measured in a series of solvents. The effect of S, -S, energy gap reduction by the solvent on the pure radiative lifetime was studied and could be fitted to the theoretical calculations. Several questions are raised concerning the validity of the theory at
Adamantane and 1,3,5,7-tetradeuterioadamantane were oxidized by RuO, in two solvent systems, CCI,-CH,CN-H,O and acetone-water, yielding two kinetic deuterium isotope effects (KIEs), 4.8 f 0.2 and 7.8 i 0-1, respectively, very similar to those obtained in analogous reactions with cis-decalin and perd
