Electron transfer reactions and mobile holes in radiolysis of squalane. Time-resolved FDMR study
- Argonne National Lab., IL (United States)
Fluorescence detected magnetic resonance (FDMR) is applied to study ion-molecule reactions in squalane (2,6,10,15,19, 23-hexamethyltetracosane). Several time-resolved pulsed FDMR experiments are suggested to measure rate constants of scavenging by aromatic solutes. These constants vary from 5 x 10{sup 8} to 1.6 x 10{sup 9} mol{sup -1} dm{sup 3} s{sup -1}. The ion-molecule reactions of radical cations are somewhat slower than reactions of radical anions. The scavenging of the alkane hole is significantly faster than ion-molecule reactions of molecular cations. The mobile hole decays on a time scale of several tens of nanoseconds. These FDMR results are in accord with our recent work on transient absorption spectroscopy in radiolysis of squalane. 27 refs., 6 figs.
