Abstract
Radical cations of Group 14 element organometallics R4E and R3EER3 (E=Si,Ge,Sn, R=Me,Et) were generated in alkane solutions by X-ray irradiation and studied using the time-resolved magnetic field effect technique. Modeling shows that in alkane solutions the g-factors of Me4E+˙ and Me3EEMe3+˙ are close to those measured in low temperature matrices. At concentrations of organometallics of about 0.1 M the fast electron self-exchange between radical cations Me4E+˙ (E=Si,Ge) and the corresponding neutrals takes place. In the case of R3EER3 the electron self-exchange has not been observed. Short times of phase relaxation (∼10 ns) are found for all the studied radical cations. Possible contributions to relaxation rates are discussed. For solutions of Me4E a peculiarity manifested as a positive magnetic field effect in strong magnetic field is observed in spin dynamics at short times. This peculiarity is assigned to the radical cations of olefins arising upon radiolysis of an alkane solvent.
