Arylperoxyl radicals. Formation, absorption spectra, and reactivity in aqueous alcohol solutions
- National Inst. of Standards and Technology, Gaithersburg, MD (United States)
Aryl radicals (phenyl, 4-biphenylyl, 2-naphthyl, 1-naphthyl, and 9-phenanthryl) were produced by the reaction of the corresponding aryl bromide with solvated electrons and reacted rapidly with oxygen to produce the arylperoxyl radicals. These radicals exhibit optical absorptions in the visible range, with [lambda][sub max] at 470, 550, 575, 650, and 700 nm, respectively. Arylperoxyl radicals react with 2,2[prime]-azinobis(3-ethylbenzothiazoiine-6-sulfonate ion) (ABTS), chlorpromazine, and 6-hydroxy-2,5,7,8-tetramethylchroman-2-carboxylic acid (Trolox C) by one-electron oxidation. The rate constants k for these reactions, determined from the rate of formation of the one-electron oxidation products as a function of substrate concentration, vary between 4 [times] 10[sup 6] and 2 [times] 10[sup 9] L mol[sup [minus]1] s[sup [minus]1] and increase in the order phenyl-, 4-biphenyl-, 2-naphthyl-, 1-naphthyl-, and 9-phenanthrylperoxyl, the same order as the absorption peaks of these radicals. Good correlation was found between log k and the energy of the absorption peak. 16 refs., 2 figs., 2 tabs.
