Title: Structure and reactions of cation-radicals of esters in freon matrices

Journal Article · · High Energy Chem. (Engl. Transl.); (United States)
OSTI ID:5216512

In CFCl/sub 3/ matrices the cation-radicals of methyl and ethyl formates, formed in ..gamma..-irradiated solutions, at 77 K efficiently undergo intramolecular H atom transfer to form the secondary cation-radicals HC(OH)OCH/sub 2/CH/sub 2/ and DC(OH)OCD/sub 2/CH/sub 2/. This process does not occur in the deuteroformate cation-radical DCOOCH/sub 2/CD/sub 3//sup +./, which is observed in the ESR spectra in different conformations, depending on the temperature. Ion-molecule reactions involving cation-radicals are indicated
