Abstract

The rates of the reactions of benzhydrylium ions (diarylcarbenium ions) with solvent mixtures of variable composition (water/acetonitrile, methanol/acetonitrile, ethanol/acetonitrile, ethanol/water, and trifluoroethanol/water) have been determined photometrically by conventional UV-vis spectroscopy, stopped-flow methods, and laser flash techniques. It has been shown that the first-order rate constants follow the previously published relationship ...
