Abstract

Discussion Charge-transfer absorptions are observed whenever nitroxides are dissolved in polyhalogenated solvents. Laser irradiation at wavelengths within these bands" instantaneously" yields the corresponding oxoammonium halide and a carbon-centered radical via a photoinduced electron transfer followed by loss of halide ion, just as was first proposed by Koch and co-workersg for the specific case of di-tert-butyl nitroxide in CC4. ...
