Dissociative electron transfer between arene radical anions and 1-iodobutane studied by pulse radiolysis
Abstract
The second-order rate constants for reactions between an arene radical anion and 1-iodobutane have been obtained over a range of log(k/dm3 mol–1 s–1), from ca. 6 up to the bimolecular diffusion limit; a linear dependence of log k on E° for the donor radical anion is found and interpreted in a qualitative fashion.
