Spectroscopic detection of short-lived anthracene derivative cation radicals using an electron transfer stopped-flow method with the tris(2,4-dibromophenyl)amine cation radical

Abstract

Dynamic transformation profiles of short-lived cation radicals of anthracene derivatives, including 1-methyl, 2-methyl and unsubstituted anthracenes, could be observed using an electron transfer stopped-flow method by adopting the tris(2,4-dibromophenyl)amine cation radical as a reaction initiator.
