Electron Affinities of Organic Carbonyl Compounds by the ECD

2 Electron Affinities of Organic Carbonyl Compounds by the ECD Method 

Besides the aromatic hydrocarbons the Ea of a number of aromatic carbonyl compounds have been determined using the ECD. These include substituted acetophenones, benzaldehydes, benzophenones, benzoates, phthalates, acetonaphthone, naphthaldehydes, and anthracene and phenanthrene aldehydes. Like the aromatic hydrocarbons, the majority of these compounds only undergo nondissociative
