Abstract
10-Methylacridine dimer [(AcrH)2)] dissociates into a pair of 10-methy lacridyl radicals (AcrH.) on laser excitation (308 nm) in solvents of various polarities. Exposure of (AcrH)2 in methylcyclohexane glass at 77 K to gamma-rays of Co-60 generates the radical cation (AcrH)2+. The rmal annealing of the matrix to 90 K results in dissociation of (AcrH) 2+. into AcrH. and 10-methylacridinium cation (AcrH+).
