Examples include luminescence from anthracene crystals subjected to alternating electric current (159), luminescence from electron recombination with the carbazole free radical produced by photolysis of potassium carba2ole in a fro2en glass matrix (160), reactions of free radicals with solvated electrons (155), and reduction of mtheiiium(III)tris(bipyridyl) with the hydrated electron (161). Other examples include the oxidation of aromatic radical anions with such oxidants as chlorine or ben2oyl peroxide (162,163), and the reduction of 9,10-dichloro-9,10-diphenyl-9,10-dihydroanthracene with the 9,10-diphenylanthracene radical anion (162,164). Many other examples of electron-transfer chemiluminescence have been reported (156,165).

The diffusion of H and D atoms in the molecular crystals of hydrogen isotopes was explored with the EPR method. The atoms were generated by y-irradiation of crystals or by photolysis of a dopant. In the H2 crystals the initial concentration of the hydrogen atoms 4x 10 mol/cm is halved during 10 s at 4.2 K as well as at 1.9 K [Miyazaki et al. 1984 Itskovskii et al. 1986]. The bimolecular recombination (with rate constant /ch = 82cm mol s ) is limited by diffusion, where, because of the low concentration of H atoms, each encounter of the recombinating partners is preceded by 10 -10 hops between adjacent sites. 

The growth of long chains ( > 10 ) in the perfectly mixed 1 1 crystals of ethylene with chlorine and bromine at 20-70 K was studied in detail by Wight et al. [1993]. Active radicals were generated by pulse photolysis of CI2 or Br2. The rate constant was found to be /Cc = 8-12s below Tc = 45 K. The chain grows according to the well known radical mechanism including the reactions... 

Another route to enantiomcrically pure iron-acyl complexes depends on a resolution of diastereomeric substituted iron-alkyl complexes16,17. Reaction of enantiomerically pure chloromethyl menthyl ether (6) with the anion of 5 provides the menthyloxymethyl complex 7. Photolysis of 7 in the presence of triphenylphosphane induces migratory insertion of carbon monoxide to provide a racemic mixture of the diastereomeric phosphane-substituted menthyloxymethyl complexes (-)-(/ )-8 and ( + )-( )-8 which are resolved by fractional crystallization. Treatment of either diastereomer (—)-(/J)-8 or ( I )-(.V)-8 with gaseous hydrogen chloride (see also Houben-Weyl, Vol 13/9a, p437) affords the enantiomeric chloromethyl complexes (-)-(R)-9 or (+ )-(S)-9 without epimerization of the iron center. 

The reaction was extended to PhCH2X (X = Cl or Br) which gives the hexa(phenyl-ethyl)benzene complex. The new free aromatic ligand is easily disengaged by photolysis in acetonitrile [76a] Eq. (20). This line of research is now offering us the perspective of making new discotic liquid crystals using suitably substituted... 

Other techniques for decompng nitric acid are photochemical flash photolysis. The photochemical decompn of nitric acid is not solely a gas-phase reaction X-rays have caused the evolution of 02 from nitric acid crystals. The use of flash photolysis has shown the nitrate radical to be an intermediate in the decompn (Ref 30)... 

The energy available in various forms of irradiation (ultraviolet, X-rays, 7-rays) may be sufficient to produce in the reactant effects comparable with those which result from mechanical treatment. A continuous exposure of the crystal to radiation of appropriate intensity will result in radiolysis [394] (or photolysis [29]). Shorter exposures can influence the kinetics of subsequent thermal decomposition since the products of the initial reaction can act as nuclei in the pyrolysis process. Irradiation during heating (co-irradiation [395,396]) may exert an appreciable effect on rate behaviour. The consequences of pre-irradiation can often be reduced or eliminated by annealing [397], If it is demonstrated that irradiation can produce or can destroy a particular defect structure (from EPR measurements [398], for example), and if decomposition of pre-irradiated material differs from the behaviour of untreated solid, then it is a reasonable supposition that the defect concerned participates in the normal decomposition mechanism.

Thus, when acid 76 was crystallized as a salt with (S)-(-)-l-phenylethylamine ([S]-PEA), the X-ray structure showed that the conformational enantiomer 76a was trapped in the crystal, displaying O - H and O - Ht distances of 2.47 A and 3.41 A, respectively. The conformation of 76a placed the carbonyl oxygen and Hj, closer to the ideal values mentioned in Figure 7.26 as compared to H. A significant preference for Hj, was demonstrated after photolysis at 0 °C and diazomethane workup, when ester 77a (B) was obtained in 65% ee after 90% conversion. Figure 7.27 illustrates the minimal atomic displacements required for reaction by comparing the X-ray structure of the reactant with that of the product, and with a structure obtained at 50% conversion. Better chemical results were obtained by photolysis of 76a with (/ )-CEA, which gave 90% ee of ester of 77a (B) after diazomethane workup. 

In the past decade, Ishikawa et al. have investigated the photochemistry of aryldisilanes.66 73 76 84 Lately, dimers derived from these unusual silenes have been observed from the first time.78 Thus, photolysis of 1,4-bis(penta-methyldisilyl)benzene 76 in hexane presumably gave rise to the silene 77 but, on workup employing crystallization, two head-to-head stereoiso-meric dimers 78 and 79 were obtained in about 45% yield in a 1 1 ratio. These were said to be formed from the silenecyclohexadienes 77 by the two alternative pathways shown in Scheme 12. Related dimers were also...
