Abstract

The reactions of gallium trichloride with phenyl and deuterio-phenyl azides, as well as with 4- methoxyphenyl azide and deuterium isotopomers, were examined by product analysis, CW EPR spectroscopy and pulsed ENDOR spectroscopy. The products included the corresponding anilines together with 4-aminodiphenylamine type dimers, and polyanilines. Complex CW EPR spectra of the radical cations of the dimers [ArNHC6H4NH2]+˙ and ...
