Abstract

Abstract: 1, 4-Diphenylbicyclo [2.2. 2] octane, 1, 4-bis (p-cyanophenyl) bicyclo [2.2. 2] octane, 1, 4-bis (p-nitrophenyl)-bicyclo [2.2. 2] octane, and l-benzoyl-4-(~ u-naphthyl) bicyclo [2.2. 2] octane were synthesized for energy and electrontransfer studies. Introduction of an odd electron into one aromatic ring of the symmetrical diary1 derivatives led to radical anions in which the odd electron was localized in one of the two rings. This result is ...
