Aromatic carbonium ions in liquid alkanes and alcohols from laser photoionization and pulse radiolysis
Aromatic carbonium ions are observed in photoionization and radiolysis of aromatic compounds in hydrocarbons and alcohols. These aromatic carbonium ions result from the protonation of aromatic molecules by the protonated species of hydrocarbons and alcohols which are ubiquitous in the {open_quotes}high energy{close_quotes} chemistry processes. The condensed-phase optical absorption spectra of aromatic radical cations and aromatic carbonium ions are essentially identical. The assignment of the carbonium ion species is feasible by considering the lifetimes, kinetics, scavenger and solvent effects on radical cation and carbonium ion lifetimes.
