Abstract

Figure 1. Absorption spectra of g-(methylthio) anthracene (---) and 9-anthrylmethyl (p- cyanobenzyl) sulfonium hexafluorophosphate (-) in acetonitrile solvent. polymerization as well as catalyze other chemical transformations. We have previously reported photoinduced rearrangements in a variety of sulfonium2p3 and arsonium4 systems. We believe the u* character of the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital in onium salts is responsible for the ...
