The effect of substituents on pi radical reactions of para-substituted tetraphenylporphyrins was investigated by cyclic voltammetry in methylene chloride. In all cases electron donating substituents produced a more difficult reduction and an easier oxidation. Plots of E1/2 vs. a yielded Hammett line

The room-temperature lifetimes of ring-substituted excited diphenylmethyl radicals have been shown to correlate well with the energy gap between the fluorescent lowest excited doublet and the ground state. Attempts to correlate the lifetimes with Hammett constants were unsuccessful.
The aniline molecule is nonplanar, with its NH 2 group lying at an angle ฮธ of approximately 42 โข to the plane of the benzene ring. Substituents on the phenyl ring alter this out-of-plane angle as well as other molecular properties such as the ring bond lengths and angles, the barrier to inversion E
