Abstract

Abstract The 2, 5-diphenylchalcophene radical ions (chalcogen= O, S, Se, Te) have been prepared by the action of alkali metal in 1, 2-dimethoxyethane (anions), or by the action of sulphuric acid or thallium (III) trifluoroacetate in trifluoroacetic acid (TFAH)(cations), on the parent compounds. The ESR spectra of these radical ions have been interpreted as belonging to systems which are conformationally rigid on the ESR timescale, as is evident ...
