A. Reinheimer et H. Kisch, ON THE MECHANISM OF THE FORMATION OF DIHYDROFURYL RADICALS IN THE CDS-CATALYZED PHOTOADDITION OF 2,5 DIHYDROFURAN TO AZOBENZENE, Journal of information recording, 24(3-4), 1998, pp. 211-215
The photoaddition of 2,5-dihydrofuran to azobenzene is known to afford
the corresponding allylhydrazine (type B semiconductor photocatalysis
). In this investigation it was found that the intermediate dihydrofur
yl radical is formed through a dissociative electron transfer to the r
eactive valence band hole.
