Abstract

Dimer radical anions, formed by anion—molecule reactions between octafluoronaphthalene and 1,2,4,5-tetrafluorobenzene and their respective radical anions, are observed in n-hexane solvent. The radical anions are characterized by their EPR spectra obtained by the time-resolved fluorescence-detected magnetic resonance technique. In toluene solvent the dimer anions are not formed. Rapid electron-exchange reactions occur instead in at least one case. Possible reasons why the solvent affects the anion reaction mechanism are discussed.
