The magnetic field effects (MFEs) on the photodecomposition reactions of triphenylphosphine and its halogen and methyl derivatives are investigated in fluid solutions. The yield of diarylphosphinyl radicals decreased with increasing magnetic field from 0.1 to 5 T but was stationary below 0.1 T and above 5 T. The MFE becomes larger by the substitution of halogen atoms and the 3- or 4-methyl group. In cyclohexane, the yields of the escaped diarylphosphinyl radicals at 1 T are reduced to 0.69, 0.55, 0.59, and 0.56 of those at 0 T for triphenylphosphine and its tris(4-chloro), tris(3-methyl), and tris(4-methyl) derivatives, respectively. This magnetic field dependence was ascribed to originate from the deactivation process of the excited triplet state, which is a variant of the d-type triplet mechanism originally proposed by Steiner. The interaction between the closely lying nπ* and ππ* states makes their solvent dependence complicated.
Is Selective Monosubstitution of Dihalides via SRN1 Reaction Feasible? An Electrochemical Approach for Dichloroarenes

1,4-Dichlorobenzene and dichloropyridines undergo SRN1 reaction with various nucleophiles upon electrochemical initiation.Substitution can compete with reduction only when indirect electrolyses at low current are performed.Selective formation of monosubstitution products is observed when the nucleophiles used behave as electron-donating groups when attached to the aromatic moiety, a situation which is just the opposite of what had been observed when the same reactions were initiated photochemically.This surprising difference in behavior can be rationalized in terms of different capabilities of both activation methods to generate the key monosubstitution anion radical, ArNuX(.-).Kinetic and thermodynamic data concerning the reactivity of dichloroarenes in such processes are presented and discussed.
Free-Radical Reductions of Arenediazonium Ions in Aqueous Solution. IV. Kinetics of Reactions of para-Substituted Diazonium Ions with Benzyl Alcohol, Isopropyl Alcohol And Methanol

Electron-withdrawing substituents are shown to increase the chain length of free-radical hydrodediazoniation reactions, but the actual reaction step causing the substituent effect depends on the relative rates of propagation and termination reactions.With benzyl alcohol as reducing agent the rate of the slow propagation step is increased, while with isopropyl alcohol the rate of the termination step is decreased.Rate constants for some reactions of radicals with diazonium ions are reported, and the nature of some of these reactions and their implication foran understanding of the homolysis of aromatic diazo compounds are discussed.
