Abstract

Photo-induced electron transfer reactions of hexamethyldisilane and aromatic nitriles have been examined; hexamethyldisilane acts as an effective a-donor, and undergoes novel photochemical silylation of aromatic nitriles. ... Photo-induced electron transfer reactions of good electron accepting aromatic nitriles have been studied extensively,1 and various types of electron donors have been employed: ie, n-donors such as aromatic compounds,2 ethylene derivatives,3 and ally1 ...
