Abstract

In this system kf= k,[ArX], but with benzenethiolate ion as the nucleophile kf<< k,[ArX]. As the frangibility of the radical anions (large kf) depends on the bond-dissociation energy of the CZ bond that fragments into aryl radicals and PhZ-and on the molecular orbital of the aromatic moiety! we decided to study the photostimulated reaction of phenyl selenide ion and phenyl telluride ion with several haloaromatic compounds to determine which one ...
