摘要
The electron transfer reaction between the n-butyl chloride parent ion and if-thiophenol was studied using pulse radiolysis in solutions of 4-thiophenol in n-butyl chloride. It was found to have a diffusion-controlled rate constant of 1.5 X 10(10) dm(3) mol(-1) s(-1) and to involve contributions from all functional groups, i.e. -SH, -OH and the aromatic ring. Consequently, thiyl and phenoxyl radicals and 4-hydroxythiophenol radical cations were observed as direct products of this ion-molecule reaction. This unexpected reaction behavior could be explained by the hypothesis that the encounter geometry of the reaction partners determines the product characteristics. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V.
