Abstract
Aminosilanes possess the appropriate structural features for use as two-electron sensitizers in silver halide photography. Here, we describe studies of the nucleophile-assisted cleavage reactions of the C Si bonds in their radical cations. Water is identified as a useful nucleophile. It is found that the kinetics of these reactions are best described by taking into account a radical cation water complex. The cleavage reactions are also controlled by ...
